The quantitation of buffering action

The quantitation of buffering action . I . A formal and general approach . Bernhard

The paradigm of “buffering” is applied to multiple phenomena of diverse nature. Similarly, a great variety of units for the quantitation of buffering action has been proposed. Fundamental aspects regarding the definition and quantitation of “buffering” remain unclear or unresolved. i) Is there a single common principle behind these diverse buffering phenomena? Or is “buffer” an equivocal label ...

The quantitation of buffering action . II . Applications of the formal and

For positive constants c and d, the coefficients t and b will always assume values between 0 and 1. Such a buffering behavior, which is also characteristic of H+ buffering in pure water (Buffering II Supplement 2), was classified as “noninverting moderation” (Buffering I). The accompanying paper presented a general method to construct communicating vessel-models of noninverting moderation (Buff...

Research the Quantitation of Buffering Action. Ii. Applications of the Formal and General Approach. Buffering in Pure Water

Buffering of H+ and OHions in pure water probably represent the most primal physicochemical buffering phenomena, and their quantitative description is of great interest. In this context, “pure water” shall mean water without any solutes that could act as H+ buffers. In the following, it is understood that addition of H+ ions to pure water, or removal of H+ ions from it is carried out in the for...

The quantitation of buffering action II . Applications of the formal & general approach Bernhard

Background: The paradigm of "buffering" originated in acid-base physiology, but was subsequently extended to other fields and is now used for a wide and diverse set of phenomena. In the preceding article, we have presented a formal and general approach to the quantitation of buffering action. Here, we use that buffering concept for a systematic treatment of selected classical and other bufferin...
