Abstract: | The values of the second dissociation constant, K
2, and related thermodynamic quantities of the ampholyte bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]acetic acid (BICINE) have been determined at temperatures from 5 to 55 ∘C. The pH values of six equimolal buffer solutions, and four buffer solutions having ionic strengths (I = 0.16 mol⋅kg−1) similar to those in blood plasma, have been evaluated at 12 temperatures from 5 to 55 ∘C using the Bates–Guggenheim convention. The liquid junction potentials (E
j
) between the buffer solutions of BICINE and saturated KCl solution of the calomel electrode at 25 and 37 ∘C have been estimated by measurement with a flowing junction cell. These values of E
j
have been used to ascertain the operational pH values at 25 and 37 ∘C. The pK
2 values at 25 and 37 ∘C are 8.333 and 8.156, respectively. The thermodynamic quantities associated with the second acid dissociation have been calculated from the values of pK
2 as a function of temperature. The zwitterionic buffer BICINE was shown to be useful as a pH standard in the region close to that of blood serum. |
