To complete the definition of pH, values of pH have been assigned to standard solutions. The National Bureau of Standards has recommended five solutions as primary standards. One of these, 0.05 M potassium hydrogen phthalate, has been adopted as the primary standard of pH in Great Britain and Japan. 5, record 1, English, - standard%20solution

Les déterminations de force électromotrice ne peuvent fournir une mesure du pH que si un étalonnage préalable a été réalisé. On a donc été amené à définir des solutions-étalons de pH utilisant la propriété que possèdent les couples acide-base faibles de constituer des solutions-tampons [...] 1, record 1, French, - solution%2D%C3%A9talon

La solution-étalon a été définie afin de servir de solution de référence, ce qui est presque toujours le cas; néanmoins il s’agit de deux notions distinctes. On les confond évidemment très souvent. 4, record 1, French, - solution%2D%C3%A9talon

One result of the Bronsted definitions is that for a given solvent, such as water, there is only a single scale of acid-base strength. Put another way, the relative strength of a set of acids will be the same for any base. 1, record 2, English, - acid%2Dbase%20strength

[...] les forces des acides et des bases ne sont pas indépendantes. Un acide très fort-selon Bronsted-admet une base conjuguée très faible et vice-versa. Un classement qualitatif de la force des acides ou de la force des bases permet une prévision-également qualitative-du degré auquel se produira une réaction particulière acide-base. 1, record 2, French, - force%20des%20acides%20et%20des%20bases
