RESUMO
Theoretical considerations of metal complex formation in aqueous solutions were used to develop a computer program (CHELATE) to calculate all equilibrium species (free metal ions, metal complexes, etc.) in any user-defined system, such as xylem fluid. Mass-balance equations were established to describe each free metal ion and each free ligand concentration as a function of solution pH, total metal or total ligand, hydrogen-association constants, and the stability constants of known metal complexes. A default data base can be altered by the user to define any desired system covered by the stored equilibrium data. The program can currently handle nine metal ions, 35 ligands, and 500 complex species. The validity of the program was confirmed by using experimental test systems in which free-metal ion activity measurements were made with ion-selective electrodes.
