Assignment of standard pH values [pH*(s)] to buffers in 50 mass % methanol + water from 288.15 to 308.15 K

The secondary dissociation constants of o-phthalic and phosphoric acids have been determined in methanol + water (50 mass %) from reversible e.m.f. measurements of the cell of the type: Pt, H(2)(1 atm)|M(2)A(m), MHA(m), MCl|AgCl; Ag at different temperatures (288.15-308.15 K) and at different ionic strengths. To minimize the unsteadiness in potential measurements palladium coated platinum electrodes have been used. The large set of such e.m.f. values has been analyzed in terms of a multi-linear regression method recommended in recent IUPAC documents. The thermodynamic values DeltaG degrees , DeltaH degrees and DeltaS degrees , for the respective equilibria, were estimated. Standard pH values pH*(s)] have been assigned to buffers in methanol + water (50 mass %) at temperatures between 288.15 and 308.15 K.
