A Practical Example on Uncertainty Evaluation: Spectrophotometric Determination of pKa

A practical example, focused on the evaluation of uncertainty and its propagation in spectrophotometric determination of ionization constants, is proposed in this work. The Hildebrand - Reilley method has been used in order to calculate the acetaminofen pKa value. After applying this method a linear...
