Plot an implicit function

[ptc-4254605]

I'm trying to plot the general solution for titrating an n-protic acid with an m-protic acid base. The solution cannot be expressed explicitly.

I've poked around in here and the manual but can find anything that really addresses the problem. I tried to find a way to make my function fill in a table and plot the table, but I can't get it to do even that.

File attaches as MathCad 14.0 file.

TIA.

Why are you trying to solve it symbolically?

Because I'm not familiar with MathCad and am curious to see how it works. And I wanted an explicit function because that would've been MUCH easier to work with.

I think your brackets confused Mathcad for some reason! Remove them and you get an explicit solution - see attached.

I'll be cat-haired. Sho' nuff.

Take the brackets away, and MathCad can find an explicit solution.

I wish I knew how I managed to confuse MathCad. I bet it thought the Kw/[H] was part of the summation somehow.

I now have a general solution. Life is good.
