Acidity changes and balanced equations for plutonium disproportionation reactions.
Disproportionation reactions in plutonium solutions alter the solution acidity. The acidity after reaction is related to the changes in the concentrations of the plutonyl cations. The final acidity can be estimated by a BASIC language program or by the method of proportional equations. The method is used to illustrate balanced equations for disproportionation reactions.
