Abstract

Potentiometric and conductometric studies of the nickel-thiomalic acid system, in aqueous medium of 0. lM KNO3, reveal the formation of two complexes; one light violet 1 : 1 predominating at pH 6.5-7.5 and another deep violet 1 : 2 in the pH range 8.5-10.0. The stability constants of the complexes formed have been determined by applying Calvin and Melchior's extension of Bjerrum's method at three different temperatures and were further refined by using alternative methods. The logK values (final) for 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complexes at 20, 25, and 30º have been found to be 7.86, 7.87, 7.96, and 6.24, 6.31, 6.39 respectively. The values of the overall changes in ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS accompanying the reaction have also been evaluated at 25º and found to be -19.31 kcal/mole, -8.77 kcal/mole, and +35.36 cal/deg respectively.
