title: Mixed hydroxide complex formation and solubility of bismuth in nitrate and perchlorate medium.
abstract: From the precipitation borderlines in the pBi'-pH diagram, determined experimentally under CO(2)-free conditions, the stability constants of bismuth hydroxide, bismuthoxynitrate and bismuthoxyperchlorate have been established. The following values have been found Nitrate-medium: Perchlorate-medium: log *K(SO)(OH) = 5.2, log *K(SO)(OH) = 5.2; log *K(SO)(NO(3)) = -1.2, log*K(SO)(ClO(4)) = -0.9; log *beta(2) = -4.0, log *beta(2) = -4.1; log *beta(3) = -10.0, log *beta(3)= -9.9; log *beta(4) = -21.5, log *beta(4) = -21.5; log *beta(1,0,1) = 1.2, log *beta(1,0,1) = 3.5. The constants refer to precipitates equilibrated for 30 min, prepared at room temperature (23 +/- 0.5 degrees) in sodium perchlorate or sodium nitrate medium with an ionic strength of 1.00 +/- 0.01. Concerning error propagation it is stated that pBi' values calculated with these constants will have a standard deviation of about 0.1 log unit.
