Use of a digital computer in equilibrium calculations:the effects of dilution and ionic strength of the buffer index and sharpness index in the titration of a monoprotic acid with a strong base

The effects of dilution and ionic strength on weak acid-strong base titration curves and on the buffer index, β, and sharpness index, η, for these titrations have been calculated. It has been shown that the approximate equations generally used to calculate β and η are often misleading.
