“…(9,10) Thus, the only equilibrium that need be considered in the mixtures is that for formation of HSO − 4 (aq). However, the association constants are much larger for solutions of divalent metal sulfates MSO 4 (aq), (11,12) and thus it might be necessary to include specifically the presence of equilibrium amounts of the neutral divalent-metal sulfate complexes along with the HSO − 4 (aq) ion in order to obtain quantitative models for the thermodynamic properties of {zH 2 SO 4 + (1 − z)MSO 4 }(aq).…”
