9. The problem of microscopic ionization constants
The problem of determining acidity microconstants arises systematically when studying the ionization of a polyacid (or polybase).
We only pose the problem in the case of the diacid H—A—H. The diacid can be ionized to give the corresponding monoacid by either route 1 or route 2. In route 1, the monoacid HA

is formed. Let k
11
be the corresponding acidity constant. Following pathway 2, the monobasic acid
–
AH is formed (figure

). The acidity constant is k
