Constant A(T) used for buffer calculations: The pKa value depends on the ionic strength.

 

!--------------------------------------------------------------!
$buffer-constant-A(T)                              optional    !
 constant-Centigrade-to-Kelvin    double           required    !
 T_A(T)                           double_array     required    !
$end_buffer-constant-A(T)                          optional    !
!--------------------------------------------------------------!

 

Syntax

 

Example 1

!--------------------------------------------------------------!
$buffer-constant-A(T)                                          !
 constant-Centigrade-to-Kelvin = 273.15d0                      ! Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
                                                               !
 !=============================================================!
 !                  first column: T[C]   second column: A(T)   !
 !=============================================================!
 T_A(T)                        =   0d0         0.4918d0        !   0° C = 273.15 K
                                  10d0         0.4989d0        !  10° C = 283.15 K
                                  20d0         0.5070d0        !  20° C = 293.15 K
                                  25d0         0.5114d0        !  25° C = 298.15 K
                                  30d0         0.5161d0        !  30° C = 303.15 K
$end_buffer-constant-A(T)                                      !
!--------------------------------------------------------------!

 

Example 2

!--------------------------------------------------------------!
$buffer-constant-A(T)                                          !
 constant-Centigrade-to-Kelvin = 273.15d0                      ! Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
                                                               !
 !=============================================================!
 !                  first column: T[C]   second column: A(T)   !
 !=============================================================!
 T_A(T)                        =  25d0         0.5114d0        !  25° C = 298.15 K
$end_buffer-constant-A(T)                                      !
!--------------------------------------------------------------!

 

If the keyword $buffer-constant-A(T) is present in the input file, the values for the keyword $buffer-constant-A(T) in the database are overwritten. It is possible to specify only one pair of "T, A(T)" values as shown in Example 2.

 

For more details on the physical significance of this keyword, please have a look at the database section: $buffer-constant-A(T)
