Abstract
By: Braibanti, Antonio; Bruschi, Claudio; Fisicaro, Emilia; Pasquali, Marzia Homogeneous sets of data from strong acid-strong base potentiometric titrns. in aq. soln. at various const. ionic strengths were analyzed by statistical criteria to see whether the error distribution matches that for the equil. consts. detd. by competitive potentiometric methods using the glass electrode. The titrn. curve can be defined when the estd. equivalence vol.

A special computer program, BEATRIX, was written which optimizes the values of VEM, E0 and Kw* by linearization of the titrn. curve as a Gran plot. Anal. of variance applied to a set of 11 titrns. in 1.0M NaCl medium at 298 K demonstrated that the value of VEM belong to a normal population of points corresponding to individual potential/vol. data-pairs (Ei·,vi) of any titrn., whereas the values of pKw* (or of Ew*) belong to a normal population with members corresponding to individual titrns., which is also the case for the equil. consts.
