Strategies for Solution Equilibria Studies with Specific Reference to Spectrophotometry

  • Chapter
Computational Methods for the Determination of Formation Constants

Part of the book series: Modern Inorganic Chemistry ((MICE))

Abstract

During equilibrium studies one attempts to solve the problem of designing the best model for the system, i.e., to determine the number of complex species M p L q H r in solution, the stoichiometry, stability constants, and molar absorptivities at selected wavelengths. The overall formation constant of the complex M p L q H r is defined by

$$pM + qL + rH \rightleftharpoons {M_p}{L_q}{H_r}$$
((1))

where

$${\beta _{pqr}} = [{M_p}{L_q}{H_r}]/{[M]^p}{[L]^q}{[H]^r}$$
((2))
