Abstract The ionic strength and temperature dependencies of the molal acid association quotients of 2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2′,2″-nitrilotriethanol (also abbreviated as bis-tris) were determined potentiometrically in a concentration cell fitted with hydrogen electrodes. The emf was recorded for equimolal bis-tris/bis- trisHCl buffer solutions from 5 to 125°C at approximately 25°C intervals, and at nine ionic strengths from 0.05 to 5.0m (NaCl). The molal association quotients, combined with infinite dilution values from the literature, are described precisely by a seven parameter equation which yielded the following thermodynamic quantities at infinite dilution and 25°C: logK=6.481±0.003, ΔH o =−28.5±0.2 kJ-mol −1 , ΔS o =28.5±0.8 J-K −1 -mol −1 , and ΔC P o =−22±5 J-K −1 -mol −1 . The equation incorporates a simple three term expression for logK, but requires four terms to describe the rather complex ionic strength dependence despite the reaction being isocoulombic. The molal association quotients from this study and the literature were also subjected to the Pitzer ion interaction treatment.
