%X Solvent effects on reaction constant &#961; for the dissociation equilibria of several series of organic acids are analysed in terms of three factors, namely, (i) variation in the effective dielectric constant, (ii) variation in the hydrogen-bonding ability of solvents, and (iii) variation in the conformation of the acids. A fourth factor, variation in the charge developed in the transition state of the reaction, is included in the analysis of &#961; for reactions between diazodiphenylmethane and several series of carboxylic acids. It is shown that the &#961; values for the dissociation equilibria of series of acids in other solvents can be calculated from their &#961; values in water.
