The standard
pH of 0.05 mol·kg
-1 potassium tetraoxalate was determined using the calculation methodrecommended by IUPAC (
Pure Appl. Chem. 2002,
74, 2169-2200) at various tem
peratures from new Harnedcell data and literature data. New data were obtained for 0.05 mol·kg
-1 potassium tetraoxalate solution containingu
p to 1 mol·kg
-1 KCl at tem
peratures of (5, 15, 25, 35, and 45)
C. One ste
p in the calculation method of IUPACis a linear extra
polation of the ex
perimental quantity
p[
a(H
+)
(Cl
-)], where
a refers to the activity and
refersto the activity coefficient, to zero molality of KCl. The
possibilities of using more concentrated KCl solutions inthis determination with nonlinear extra
polations were also investigated.
