Chemical Equations for Multireaction Systems

Abstract

Algebraic equations were derived for plotting theoretical titration curves involving argentometric titration of binary halide mixtures. These generic equations are applied to three cases of binary halide mixtures in spreadsheet programs. The results are presented graphically as plots of half-cell potential versus volume of the titrant. This approach may serve as a more effective and logical method of showing students how to simulate a complex system involving multiple equilibria.
