Summary
The equation used by Dey for the calculation of the formula of the complex compounds from solubility data is shown to be applicable in cases where either the complex formation is very weak or in cases wheren is equal to unity. In the general case where the complex formation is considerable the graphical method gives more reliable values ofn for the complex formation. The method has been applied to investigate the nature of the complexes formed in the silver phosphate-ammonia water system, the necessary solubility data having been obtained at 35°·5 C.
