For an N-protic acid–base system, the set of nonlinear equations (i.e., mass action and balance laws) provides a simple analytical solution/formula for any integer N ? 1. The approach is applicable general case zwitterionic acids HNA+Z (e.g., amino acids, NTA, EDTA), which includes (i) “ordinary acids” as special (Z = 0) (ii) surface complexation. Examples are presented 1 to 6. high-N perspecti...
