Buffering solution

Henderson-Hasselbach equation A simplified version of the relationships used in calculations on buffer solutions. 

The paper-electrophoretic behavior of 2-amino-4-methylthiazoie in a buffer solution containing AgNOj shows that migration increases at low and high pH an increase of pAg produces the opposite result (147). 

Suppose you take two flasks one containing pure water and the other a buffer solution mam tamed at a pH of 7 0 If you add 0 1 mole of acetic acid to each one and the final volume m each flask IS 1 L how much acetic acid is present at equi librium How much acetate ion In other words what IS the extent of ionization of acetic acid m an unbuffered medium and m a buffered one ...

To prepare the standard pH buffer solutions recommended by the National Bureau of Standards (U.S.), the indicated weights of the pure materials in Table 8.15 should be dissolved in water of specific conductivity not greater than 5 micromhos. The tartrate, phthalate, and phosphates can be dried for 2 h at 100°C before use. Potassium tetroxalate and calcium hydroxide need not be dried. Fresh-looking crystals of borax should be used. Before use, excess solid potassium hydrogen tartrate and calcium hydroxide must be removed. Buffer solutions pH 6 or above should be stored in plastic containers and should be protected from carbon doxide with soda-lime traps. The solutions should be replaced within 2 to 3 weeks, or sooner if formation of mold is noticed. A crystal of thymol may be added as a preservative.

In Section 8, the material on solubility constants has been doubled to 550 entries. Sections on proton transfer reactions, including some at various temperatures, formation constants of metal complexes with organic and inorganic ligands, buffer solutions of all types, reference electrodes, indicators, and electrode potentials are retained with some revisions. The material on conductances has been revised and expanded, particularly in the table on limiting equivalent ionic conductances.

In one version of the urea electrode, shown in Figure 11.16, an NH3 electrode is modified by adding a dialysis membrane that physically traps a pH 7.0 buffered solution of urease between the dialysis membrane and the gas-permeable...
