Abstract

In the present part, potential functions are derived for the calculation of the total potential anomalies, Δ E B and Δ E H, for Emf cells where strong or weak complexes are formed, respectively. A weak or strong electrolyte is considered to be used as complexing agent (A y L), respectively, at the experimental condition, [Y] = C mol⋅L−1, constant. The cells have indicator electrodes reversible to Bz(B)+ (cell B) and H+ ions (cell H), respectively.

The system, HY–BY z(B)-A Y L-AY and the protolysis of the acids HL and H2L in the ionic medium (A+, Y) are studied. Here, y = |z L |. Moreover, some useful Emf titrations are suggested for the experimental determination of the slope functions SL(H, L), SL (H, L2−) and SL(H, HL). The usefulness of the derived potential functions is established using the H+-acetate (CH3COO) system as an example.
