Abstract

ThepK 2 values for 3-[(l,l-Dimethyl-2-hydroxymethyl)amino]-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (AMPSO), and 3-[N,N-Bis(-hydroxyethyl)amino]-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (DIPSO) have been determined at 12 temperatures over the range 5 to 55‡C by measurements of the emf of cells without liquid junction containing hydrogen and silver-silver chloride electrodes. The values of pK 2 for AMPSO and DIPSO were found to be 9.138 and 7.576, respectively, at 25‡C. The thermodynamic quantities, δG‡, δH‡, δS‡, and δC p were calculated from the change of the equilibrium constants with temperature. These buffer substances are useful as secondary pH standards in the physiological region of pH 7 to 9.
