Abstract

In order to find out how much information could be obtained from an acid-base titration by using the slope of Gran's plot, the titration technique was refined and applied to samples of precipitation, leaching solutions of airborne particles, and lake water. The results indicate a possibility in certain cases to determine, out of an accurate measurement of the slope of the plot, the dissociation constant and concentration of the acids present.
