Complex Acid/Base Systems Complex systems may be described as solutions made up of two acids or two bases of different strengths, an acid or a base that has two or more acidic or basic functional groups, oran amphiprotic substance, acting as both an acid and a base. HCl + CH 3 COOH or H 2 A HA - A - It is possible to determine each of the components in a mixture containing a strong acid and a weak acid (or a strong base and a weak base) provided that the concentrations of the two are of the same order of magnitude and that the dissociation constant for the weak acid or base is somewhat less than about 10 4.

A Mixtures of Strong/Weak Acids or Strong/Weak Bases It is possible to determine each of the components in a mixture of strong acid and weak provided that (i) [A] = [a] (ii) A / a > 10 4 The composition of a mixture of a strong acid and a weak acid can be determined by titration with suitable indicators if the weak acid has a dissociation constant that lies between 10 4 and 10 8 and the concentrations of the two acids are of the same order of magnitude.
