By means of continuous pH-metric titration the state of the individual isopoly tungstate anions in the «Na2WO4 – HCl – PS» systems (PS – physiological solution; PS = Ringer's solution, Ringer-Locke's solution, Trisol solution; $C_W = 0.01$ mol L-1) at different temperatures (25 and 36.6°C) in the range of acidity $Z=v(H^+)/v(WO_4^{2-})=0.0-2.5$ was studied and herein reported.
The results of pH-potentiometry were used as a background for subsequent mathematical modeling of equilibria processes in the investigated solutions and for calculation of logarithms of concentration constants (lgKC) of isopoly tungstate anions formation (quasi-Newton procedure, CLINP 2.1 software [1]). Thus, mathematical models describing complexation processes were built and checked for excessiveness and sufficiency. Calculation of formation constants allowed us to build the diagrams of distribution of different ionic forms related to acidity Z and were used to define areas of existence for individual isopoly tungstate anions in physiological solutions (see Fig. 1).
It was found out that in the «Na2WO4 – HCl – PS» systems like in the «Na2WO4 – HCl – H2O» [2] or aqueous-organic solutions [3] hexatungstate ([W6O20(OH)2]6-), paratungstate B (Hx[W12O40(OH)2](10-x)-, x = 0–3), heptatungstate (H[W7O24]5-), metatungstate (H2[W12O40(OH)2](4-x)-, x = 0–2) anions are formed. And processes of protonation and deprotonation of HCO3- also are occurred.
