Authors: BETÜL BAŞARAN, EFRAİM AVŞAR

Abstract: The complex formation between zinc(II), cadmium(II), mercury(II) and benzoate ions was studied potentiometrically with glass electrode at different temperatures. The measurements have been performed in a perchlorate medium of the unit ionic strength at 25, 30, 35 and 40°C. The stability constants of the complexes were found in the order of increasing softness i.e. Zn(II) < -Cd(II) << Hg(II).

Keywords: benzoate complexes; zinc compound; cadmium compound; mercury compound; thermoydnamics.
