46 MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR ISOTACHOPHORESIS<br />

(4.6b)<br />

(4.6~)<br />

Replacing the ionic concentration on the right-hand side with the concentration of the<br />

higher charged ionic forms, we find the relationship with the concentration of the highest<br />

charged ionic form. Eqn. 4.6~ gives<br />

or<br />

i<br />

In this way, all concentrations of the ionic forms can be expressed as the concentration<br />

of the ionic form with the highest charge by means of the equilibrium constants and the<br />

concentration of the hydrogen ions. These equations will be used later to derive the<br />

expressions for pH-dependent quantities such as the effective mobilities.<br />
