Popis: | The process occurring as the background to IEF is electrolysis of water. During IEF the yield of water ions decreases, following a non-linear relationship similar to that of the current. Different extents of acidification and basification of the electrode solutions, causing a drift of the pH gradient, were observed. We derived a relationship underlying this process which enables calculation of the electrode current. By using a novel approach we showed that the sum of the pH of distilled water electrode solutions at the end of the IEF process tends to the ionic product of water. |
