Abstract
The spectrophotometric measurements of chloro complexes of lead in aqueous HCl, NaCl, MgCl2 and CaCl2 solutions at 25°C have been analyzed using Pitzer's specific interaction equations. Parameters for activity coefficients of the complexes PbCl+, PbCl20 and PbCl3− have been determined for the various media. Values of K1= 30.0 ± 0.6">K1= 30.0 ± 0.6 , K2= 106.7 ± 2.1">K2= 106.7 ± 2.1 and K3= 73.0 ± 1.5">K3= 73.0 ± 1.5 were obtained for the cumulative formation constants. [Pb2++ nCl−→ PbCln2−n)">Pb2++ nCl−→ PbCln2−n) ]. These values are in reasonable agreement with literature data. The Pitzer parameters for the PbCl ion pairs in various media were used to calculate the speciation of Pb2+ in an artificial seawater solution.
