The second dissociation constant pK(2) of 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) has been determined at eight temperatures from 5 to 55 degrees C by measurements of the emf of cells without liquid junction, utilizing hydrogen electrodes and silver-silver chloride electrodes. The pK(2) has a value of 7.18 +/- 0.001 at 25 degrees C and 7.044 +/- 0.002 at 37 degrees C. The thermodynamic quantities Delta G degrees, Delta H degrees, Delta S degrees, and Delta C-p(0) have been derived from the temperature coefficients of the pK(2). This buffer at ionic strength I = 0.16 mol-kg(-1) close to that of blood serum, has been recommended as a useful secondary pH standard for measurements of physiological fluids. Five buffer solutions with the following compositions were prepared: (a) equimolal mixture of MOPS (0.05 mol-kg(-1)) + NaMOPS, (0.05 mol-kg(-1)); (b) MOPS (0.05 mol-kg(-1)) + NaMOPS (0.05 mol-kg(-1)) + NaCl (0.05 mol-kg(-1)); (c) MOPS (0.05 mol-kg(-1)) + NaMOPS (0.05 mol-kg(-1)); + NaCl (0.11 mol-kg(-1)); (d) MOPS (0.08 mol-kg(-1)) + NaMOPS (0.08 mol-kg(-1)); and (e) MOPS (0.08 mol-kg(-1)) + NaMOPS (0.08 mol-kg(-1)) + NaCl (0.08 mol-kg(-1)). The pH values obtained by using the pH meter + glass electrode assembly are compared with those measured from a flow-junction calomel cell saturated with KCI (cell B), as well as those obtained from cell (A) without liquid junction at 25 and 37 degrees C. The conventional values of the liquid junction potentials E-j have been obtained at 25 and 37 degrees C for the physiological phosphate reference solution as well as for the MOPS buffers (d) and (e) mentioned above.
