Abstract:
Basic equations have been derived linking the electrophoretic migration in a stationary pH gradient of simple, singly charged cations or anions and of mono- mono- valent ampholytes with the pKs of their ionizable groups. In the case of diprotic ampholytes, an equation and a curve are described calculating a correction factor to be applied to the mobility measurements, accounting for the influence of the opposite charge species on the mobility curve of the ion being measured. This correction factor is a function of delta pK and increases exponentially with decreasing values of delta pK. These theoretical considerations have been experimentally verified by running pH-mobility curves of colored compounds, such as methyl red, neutral red and dexorubicin. The pKs thus measured were in excellent agreement with the pKs obtained independently by spectrophotometric titrations.
