Kurzbeschreibung
"Advanced Potentiometry" details the accurate calculation of potentiometric titrations. Additional terms such as the ideal diffusion potential together with the contribution of activity factors furnish calculated stability constants which do not include systematic errors and thus present a complete and correct description of equilibrium processes. Moreover, serious systematic errors resulting from the recent use of curve-fitting computer programs are highlighted later in the text. "Advanced Potentiometry" can advantageously be used by lecturers, researchers, PhD graduates and undergraduate students working in the fields of Solution Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry and Environmental Research.
Synopsis
This monograph features the calculation of the total potential anomalies/systematic errors in emf cells containing either mixtures of strong electrolytes or equilibrium systems at all the experimental conditions generally used in potetiometric titrations. A critical analysis of these methods is presented. At present, there are serious systematic errors in the calculation methods used at the interpretation of emf data, which result in erroneous suggestion of the complexes formed (often polynuclear which do not exist!). Why is this book needed? Potentiometry is a classical investigation method. It is important that this method is correct, free from systematic errors and it that it describes both nature and the environment correctly.
