Abstract
Calculations of complexation equilibria in introductory texts are unreliable to the point of absurdity. No case has been made that they should be taught, but if they are they should be taught using software that solves all the simultaneous equilibria and allows for the effect of ionic strength in the solution.

Modification of Small-Scale One-Pot Reactions to an Inquiry-Based Laboratory Exercise
C. Jayne WilcoxJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (1), 62Modification of Small-Scale One-Pot Reactions to an Inquiry-Based Laboratory Exercise
C. Jayne WilcoxJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (1), 62I have modified small-scale, one-pot reactions reported in the literature to a guided inquiry approach. These reactions involve aqueous ionic equilibria centered around three different cations. Each cation has its own set of self-contained reactions that ...
