Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples
This function calculates and plots the titration curve for a triprotic weak base analyte using a monoprotic strong acid as the titrant. The calculation uses a single master equation that finds the volume of titrant needed to achieve a fixed pH, as outlined in R. de Levie's Principles of Quantitative Chemical Analysis (McGraw-Hill, 1997).
1 2 3 |
conc.base |
Molar concentration of the triprotic weak base analyte; defaults to 0.10 M. |
conc.acid |
Molar concentration of the strong acid titrant; defaults to 0.10 M. |
pka1 |
The pKa1 value for the triprotic weak base analyte's conjugat weak acid; defaults to a pKa1 of 4, or a pKb3 of 10. |
pka2 |
The pKa2 value for the triprotic weak base analyte's conjugat weak acid; defaults to a pKa2 of 7, or a pKb2 of 7 |
pka3 |
The pKa3 value for the triprotic weak base analyte's conjugat weak acid; defaults to a pKa3 of 10, or a pKb1 of 4. |
pkw |
The pKw (or pKs) value for the solvent; defaults to water as a solvent with a pKw of 14. |
vol.base |
The iniital volume, in mL, of the solution that contains the weak acid analyte; defaults to 50.00 mL. |
plot |
Logical; if TRUE, plots the titration curve. |
eqpt |
Logical; if TRUE, draws a vertical line at the titration curve's equivalence point. |
overlay |
Logical; if TRUE, adds the current titration curve to the existing titration curve. |

Additional arguments to pass to |
A two-column data frame that contains the volume of titrant in the first column and the solution's pH in the second column. Also produces a plot of the titration curve with options to display the equivalence point and to overlay titration curves.
