|
An amino acid in solution can exist inone of two forms as |
neutral or zwitterionic |
|
A reaction to be suitable for an analysis bytitration must |
be fast and have a large equilibrium constant (go to completetion) |
|
The transition range of an indicator correspondsto |
a 1:10 parts change in color as a minimal observation limit or pH=pka+-1 |
|
At the equivalence point of anacid-base titration an indicator should have a pKa equal to |

A formation constant (stability constant) is the |
the equilibrium constant for reaction of a metal with a ligand |
|
In terms of the free energy for formation of ametal-chelate complex the main contribution arises from |
the increase in entropy |
|
The conditional formation constant is the |
equilibrium constant for metal complex formation at a given pH |

|
A species is said to be oxidized when |
it loses electrons |
|

anode |
|

reference electrode |
|
The selectivity coefficient of an electrodedescribes |
the relative response of the electrode to different species of the same charge |
|
Secondary electrodes (also called compoundelectrodes) work by |
surrounding a conventional electrode with a membrane to isolate or generate the analyte to which the electrode responds |
|
Prior to a redox titration the species to bedetermined must be |
in the same oxidation state |
