Stability constants of iron(II) sulfate complexes.
The complex formation equilibria between iron(II) and sulfate ions have been studied at 25 degrees C in 3 M NaClO4 ionic medium by measuring with a glass electrode the competition of Fe2+ and H+ ions for the sulfate ion. The concentrations of the metal and of the ligand were varied in the ranges 0.01 to 0.125 and 0.01 to 0.250 M, respectively. The analytical concentration of strong acid was chosen to be 0.01 or 0.03 M. The potentials of the glass electrode, corrected for the effect of replacement of medium ions with reagent species, have been interpreted with the equilibria [formula: see text] Stability constants valid in the infinite dilution reference state, logK zero = 1.98 +/- 0.16, log beta 1 zero = 2.1(5) +/- 0.2 and log beta 2 = 2.5 +/- 0.2, have been estimated by assuming the validity of the specific interaction theory.
