Abstract
Many metal ions form soluble complexes with pyroβ and tripolyphosphate. Complex formation entails a decrease in pH. By measuring the pH and in some cases the concentration of free metal ions, equilibrium constants for a number of metalβphosphate complexes were determined at 25Β° and at 40Β°. Activity corrections were applied. The tendency to form complexes increases in the following order:
Tripolyphosphate has somewhat stronger complexing properties than pyrophosphate. The influence of the temperature is in most cases small. Constants obtained are listed in Table V.
