Acid dissociation constant (pKa) of some para-substituted benzohydroxamic, 4-XC6H4CONHOH, and N-methyl parasubstituted benzohydroxamic acids, 4XC6H4CON(OH)CH3, where X = H, CH3, CH3O, NO2, Cl, have been determined spectrophotometrically by nucleophilic substitution reactions of pnitrophenyl acetate with hydroxamate ions at 27± 0.1C. All reactions in this study follow pseudo-first order kinetics...
