VMINTEQ 3.1: How to add OH- species?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around using the free version of VMINTEQ 3.1 for simulating titration with NaOH as the titrant. The user initially struggled to find the hydroxide ion (OH-) in the software's list, leading to confusion about its representation. It was clarified that in VMINTEQ, OH- is represented by a negative value of the hydrogen ion (H+). This insight helped the user successfully navigate the simulation process.

I'm using the free version of VMINTEQ 3.1 and I want to simulate titration with NaOH as the titrant, but I could not find OH- on the list. Can anyone teach me how? Thanks!

I haven't used MINTEQ in ages, but I don't think you can use just OH-, it needs a counterion.

Ah I figured it out! Apparently OH- is represented by a negative value of the H+. But thanks for the reply!
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
