The ionic product of water, pKw = –log[H+][OH–], has been determined as a function of ionic strength (I ) in concentrated aqueous solutions of KCl, KBr and KI at 25˚C by high-precision glass electrode potentiometric titrations. The pKw values obtained are in excellent agreement with, but generally more precise than, literature data. At I > 1 M the pKw values increase smoothly and show systematic differences in the order KCl < KBr < KI, consistent with the decreasing H+-acceptor ability of the medium anions. Analogous behaviour is observed in MCl solutions, with pKw values varying in the order NaCl < KCl < CsCl. Formation constants of MOH0 ion pairs derived from these data are consistent with literature values.

The rate of the reaction between potassium ferrocyanide and potassium persulfate has been measured over a range of conditions. The rate is dependent on the potassium ion concentration, and it is shown that this is explained if it is assumed that KFe(CN)63− and KS2O8− are the reacting species. The equilibrium constants governing the formation of these ion pairs were measured with a cation-sensitive glass electrode. Similar constants for the products KFeCCN6)2− and KSO4−, and also for KNO3, were measured. From these equilibrium constants, the true rate constants of the reaction can be obtained, and it is shown that these vary with ionic strength in the manner predicted by Brönsted's equation.

The thermodynamic equilibria of nickel(II) with N,N′-di(aminoethylene)-2,6-pyridinedicarbonylamine (L1), Bis-(N,N-dimethylethyl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide (L2), and N,N′-bis[2(2-pyridyl)-methyl]pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (L3) have been studied at 25°C and an ionic strength of 0.15 mol dm−3by glass electrode potentiometry. The protonation and formation constants added to blood plasma model predict that Cu(II) competes effectively against Ni(II), Zn(II), and Ca(II) for these ligandsin vivo.

Fundamental and applied research into aqueous and non-aqueous solutions of strong and weak electrolytes remains to be highly relevant, which fact is confirmed by a large number of Russian and foreign publications. In almost all such publications, acid-base interactions are considered exclusively with regard to changes in hydrogen ion concentrations. However, the ionic strength of solutions is determined by all ions present in the system, the concentration of which varies during interactions. This is particularly true for potentiometric titration of strong and weak electrolytes not only in aqueous, but also in more complex non-aqueous solutions, which differ significantly in their basic properties (dielectric constant, ionic product, dipole moment, viscosity, etc.). In the study of equilibria, it is more feasible to develop model representations that would greatly simplify and facilitate the computation and evaluation of certain properties of the system under consideration. In this work, acid-base interactions are presented in the form of equations based on mass action laws and those describing equilibrium processes, solvent ionic product, electroneutrality and material balance in electrolyte systems. The proposed equations consider the effect of the concentrations of all charged particles in the system (not only of hydrogen ions – pH) on the ionic strength of the solution, activity coefficients and, as a consequence, the thermodynamic dissociation constant. In addition, these equations allow the dependence between the equilibrium concentrations of all charged particles and the solution acidity determined by the potentiometric method to be expressed in convenient and objective logarithmic coordinates, thus facilitating estimation of the concentration of all particles at any moment of titration.

Chemical speciation in the system CuI/NH3/Cl- which may be represented by the general equilibrium pCuI(aq)+qNH3(aq)+rCl-(aq)↔ Cup(NH3)qClr(p-r)+(aq) has been studied by glass electrode potentiometry at 25.0°C and an ionic strength of 1.00 M (NaClO4). A number of binary and ternary complexes were detected with formation constants, βpqr: logβ120 = 11.381�0.077, logβ111 = 8.920�0.045, logβ112 = 8.82�0.18 and logβ121 = 11.33�0.24. The ionization constant of water (pKw) and the protonation constant of ammonia (pKa) obtained by the same procedures were 13.7462�0.0012 and 9.4613�0.0010 at I = 1 (NaClO4), and 13.7165�0.0010 and 9.4521�0.0007 at I = 1 (NaCl) respectively.

The possible formation of organo–metal–phosphate complexes (O–M–P) in aqueous solutions is examined by potentiometric titration analysis. The complex-forming solutions contain Al3+-ions or Fe3+-ions, organic acids (salicylic, phthalic, oxalic, and citric acids) and phosphate ions. The titrations are done within the precipitation-free pH-region from 2 to 4.5 (approximately) at 25 °C under nitrogen at an ionic strength of 0.2 M KCl. The calibration of the electrode pair (glass-electrode, calomel-reference electrode) and the determination of the formation constants are facilitated by analyzing the pertinent curves with the ACBA-(Arena etal.) and MINIQUAD-(Gans etal.) computer programs. The results suggest (i) that O–M–P complexes are readily formed, and that the power of selected organic acids to form ternary mixed-ligand complexes with Al3+-ions and phosphate ions decreases in the order salycilate > citrate > oxalate > phthalate. Also, Fe3+-ions are found to be more strongly bound by salicylate and phosphate ions than Al3+-ions. The effect of O–M–P formation on the chemical speciation of Al in buffered aqueous solutions containing mineral nutrients for the growth of biological organisms is demonstrated for a special case study.

The properties of cellulose chelating ion exchangers Ostsorb have been studied in the sorption of cadmium and lead from aqueous solutions. The Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions are trapped by the Ostsorb OXIN and Ostsorb DETA ion exchangers most effectively in neutral and alkaline media but at these conditions formation of stable hydrolytic products of both metals competes with the exchange equilibria. From this point of view, Ostsorb DTTA appears to be a more suitable sorbent since it traps the Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions in acidic media already. Chloride ions interfere with the sorption of the two metals by Ostsorb DTTA whereas the ionic strength adjusted by the addition of sodium perchlorate does not affect the exchange capacity of this ion exchanger.
