Notes:
The degree of ionization of some sodium polyphosphates used in the food industry was determined with sodium ion electrodes. The effect of the presence of the calcium ion on the ionization of these phosphates was also studied. Sodium orthophosphate completely dissociated in solution, with the degree of dissociation of the polyphosphates inversely proportional to the number of P atoms in the chain or the ring. The addition of calcium enhanced the dissociation of the polyphosphate and lowered the pH in each case.
