>I used to use a shareware program (of unknown origin) called "Buffer" to
>aid in buffer make-up. You could pick an acid, input the desired pH (it
>would tell you if you were out of range), ionic strength, molarity, and
>temperature and it would output the quantities (per liter) of acid,
>conjugate base, and salt for the recipe. It really sped up the design
>of formulation experiments (especially constant ionic strength designs).
>
>Unfortunately, the program was written for the Mac, and only ran on
>older Mac OSs. My question to the list: does anyone know of a Windows
>program (shareware or otherwise) that will serve the same functional
>requirements?
