MODELLING OF ACIDS AND BASES REVISITED

Abstract

Models for dissociation and mixing of acids and bases are the main subject of many analytical chemistry textbooks. Preparing the solutions for any titration generally involves diluting acids and bases. The mathematics behind precise calculation of pH and pOH is treacherous even for monoprotic acids and bases, becoming mathematically complex when processes of chemical complexation are considered and one should consider any simplifying approximation when available.
