Abstract

The influence of monocarboxylic acids (formic, ace tic and
butyric) on the h a lf-wa ve potential of metal ions (lead, cadmium,
copper(II) and tha llium(!)) in the monocarboxyl a te buffer was
established. Since this influence is opposite to that of complex
formation, it is n ecessary to investigate the monocarboxylate complexes
in buffers with a constant acid concentration rather than in
buffers with a constant salt-acid r a tio. The positive shift of the
half-wave potential with the increase of the monocarboxylic acid
concentration in the buffer is caused by the change of the liquid
junction potential, by the change of the activity coefficient of the
ion and by the change of the viscosity of the solution.
