The values of the second dissociation constant, pK 2 , and related thermodynamic quantities of 3-[(1,1-dimethyl-2-hydroxymethyl)amino]-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (AMPSO) have already been reported in previous investigations at 12 temperatures over the temperature range (278.15 to 328.15) K, including 310.15 K (J. Solution Chem. 1997, 26, 309-317). This paper reports the results for the pH of nine buffer solutions free of the chloride ion with compositions: (a) AMPSO (0.04 mol+ NaAMPSO (0.02 mol • kg -1 ); (f) AMPSO (0.06 mol • kg -1 ) + NaAMPSO (0.03 mol • kg -1 ); (g) AMPSO (0.08 mol • kg -1 ) + NaAMPSO (0.01 mol • kg -1 ); (h) AMPSO (0.08 mol • kg -1 ) + NaAMPSO (0.02 mol • kg -1 ); and (i) AMPSO (0.08 mol • kg -1 ) + NaAMPSO (0.08 mol • kg -1 ). The remaining 13 buffer solutions (j to v) have saline media of the ionic strength I ) 0.16 mol • kg -1 , matching closely to that of the physiological sample. Conventional pa H values, designated as pH(s), for all nine buffer solutions (a to i) without the chloride ion and thirteen buffer solutions with the chloride ion (j to v) at I ) 0.16 mol • kg -1 from (278.15 to 328.15) K have been calculated. The operational pH values for six buffer solutions at (298.15 and 310.15) K have been determined based on the difference in the values of the liquid junction potentials between the blood phosphate standard and the experimental buffer solutions. Five of these buffers are recommended as standards for the physiological pH range 7.5 to 8.5.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
