Computational Methods
It is assumed that the experimental data which have been collected comprise a set of data points. At each i-th data point, the analytical concentrations of the reactants, TA (i ), TB (i ) etc. are known along with a measured quantity, yi, that depends on one or more of these analytical concentrations. A general computational procedure has three main components.
- Definion of a chemical model of the equilibria
- Calculation of the concentrations of all the chemical species in each solution
- Refinement of the equilibrium constants
- Model selection

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
“I think it is a wise course for laborers to unite to defend their interests.... I think the employer who declines to deal with organized labor and to recognize it as a proper element in the settlement of wage controversies is behind the times.... Of course, when organized labor permits itself to sympathize with violent methods or undue duress, it is not entitled to our sympathy.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
