Determination of Equilibrium Constants - Computational Methods

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.

  1. Definion of a chemical model of the equilibria
  2. Calculation of the concentrations of all the chemical species in each solution
  3. Refinement of the equilibrium constants
  4. Model selection

Famous quotes containing the word methods:

    “The reading public is intellectually adolescent at best, and it is obvious that what is called “significant literature” will only be sold to this public by exactly the same methods as are used to sell it toothpaste, cathartics and automobiles.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
