4 Ba sic information
4.1 General
Reference buffer so l utions are prepared using primary or secondary reference materials. The pH values of the reference buffer solutions are determined using the methods described The pH value of a reference buffer solution and the associated uncertainty of measurement are documented in a calibration certificate as the result of calibration. pH values of primary reference buffer solutions form the basis of pH measurements in practice and are generally det erm ined by nationa l metrology instit utes. Secondary reference buffer sol utions are commercially available. The reference buffer sol utions prepared according to the methods described as a material measure of the pH value.
4.2 The pH value based upon the activity of single ions according to the formula cannot be measured. The pH value is assigned to reference buff er solutions outlined in Iab.J.e…l . This is achieved using an el ectroc hemical method of m eas ur e ment that is based on the thermodynamic dependence of the potential of the platinum/hyd rogen electrode on the h ydrogen ion activity. Through the use of cells without transference, diffusion voltages arising from liquid junctions do not appear and the refore do not need to be considered when calculating the vol tage of the cell.
