For pH 10.0:
                       Temperature
                      20C          50C
    2M NaOH          3.59 ml      3.49 ml
    2M citric acid  10 ml        10 ml
  Dilute to 100 ml with water.

  Source: Table 10.9 in Perrin & Dempsey "Buffers for
    pH and Metal Ion Control. London: Chapman & Hall, 
    1974. p. 130. References are given there for the primary
    source and for buffers at temperatures up to 91C.
    (Note that ordinary citric acid-sodium citrate buffer
     if effective only in the range 3.0-6.2.)
