Reagents
The reagents used were: H3TC - HC1 standard (Institute for Drug Control of the Socialist
Republic of Croatia), Na2MoO4" 2H20 "Merck" and Na2WO4" 2H20 "Reanal". All p.a.
H3TC solutions were prepared by dissolving exact quantities of H3TC standard in water
while the initial Na2WO4 and Na2MoO4 solutions were standardized gravimetrically [12].
Solutions were prepared with fresh bidistilled water with the conductivity of 3.33 -10 -6 S
and pH > 6.0.
Equipment
A pH meter Iskra Model MA 5705, a conductometer Iskra Model MA 5951 and a thermostat
VEB Prgfgerfite, precision + 0.020 C, were used. The pH-meter was calibrated using buffer
solutions radiometer pH = 7.02, and pH = 4.00, at 20 ~C. The cell for conductivity measure-
ments was calibrated by using 0.01 M KC1 solution ( C = 7.09 9102 S, at 25~ Conductivity
measurements were performed with an error of 1% while the pH was measured with the
precision of _+0.01 pH units.
at room temperature which was kept constant. The obtained results are
presented in Tables 1 and 2.
It is evident that H3TC and Na2WO4 or Na2MoO4 solution mixtures have
higher pH values than H3TC solution. The decrease of H + ions concen-
tration is due to the following possible reactions,
2 H 3 T C + N a 2 W O 4 ~- N a 2 [ W O 3 ( H 2 T C ) 2 ] -+- H 2 0 , (1)
2H3TC + Na2MoO4 Na2[MoO3(H2TC)2] + H20, (2)
H3TC + Na2WO4 Na2[WO3HTC] + H 2 0 , (3)
H 3 T C q- N a 2 M o O 4 Na2[MoOBHTC] + H20, (4)
resulting in the complex formation and also followed by decrease of the
total ions concentration. In the other case, i.e. if there was no complexation
according to reactions (1)--(4), H + ions concentration in a solution
containing both Na2WO4 and H3TC [solution (a)] would be equal to the sum
of H + concentrations in each solution separately [solution (b) plus solution
(c)]. Due to the complex formation the concentration of H + ions, actually of
all ions present in solution (a), decreases as a function of the quantity of the
formed complex, thus leading to an increase of the pH value and a decrease
of specific conductivity of the solution. Concentration decrease of H + ions
has been calculated by using the following equation,
A[H +] = [H+]a - [[H+]b -ff [H ~]r (5)
where [H+]a is H + ions concentration in solution (a), while [H+]b and [H+]:
denote concentrations in solutions (a), (b) and (c), respectively.
Decrease of specific conductivity C has been calculated from the
equation
A C = Ca - [CB + Cd, (6)

using the data obtained for the solutions with excessive metal salts as
compared to H 3 T C . The stability constant of the complex can be calculated
from the following equations, established for the equilibrium of WO]- ions
in the solution,

The results are presented in Table 3. Because the difference in the values
obtained for the constants is within the measurement error, the calculation
procedure has not been repeated.
and from the stability and relative stability constants of the complex (Eqs.
(15) and (12), respectively), the expression
log K, = a - 2pH (17)
is obtained after taking the logarithm. Here a = log Ke - log [H20] + log K.
It follows from Eq. (17) that the difference between log K, values deter-
mined at different pH, log K~, is equal to twice the difference between pH
values, ApH. The same holds for molybdenum complexes formed in the
reaction of the same type as for tungsten. The results log AK~ = 0.70 and
ApH = 0.41 as well as A log K~= 0.67 and ApH = 0.34 obtained for
tungsten and molybdenum complexes, respectively (see Table 3), support
the above conclusion.
