13、PA 19428-2959. United States1alkaline error, nin alkaline solutions, where hydrogen ion activity becomes very small, some glass electrodes respond to othercations, such as sodium.DISCUSSIONA negative error in the pH reading results. By changing the composition of the glass, the affinity of the glass

14、 for sodium ion can be reduced. Suchelectrodes are known as lithium glass, high-pH, or full-range electrodes.analate, nthe sample being analyzed; used in the terms “analate addition” and “analate subtraction.”DISCUSSIONThis term differs from the term “analyte,” which describes the chemical species o

16、ctrode pairs placed in identical solutions.calibration curve, na plot of the potential (emf or E) of a given ion-selective electrode cell assembly (ion-selective electrodecombined with an identified reference electrode) versus the logarithm of the ionic activity (or concentration) of a given species

17、.DISCUSSIONFor uniformity, it is recommended that the potential be plotted on the ordinate (vertical axis) with the more positive potentials at the top of the graphand that pa A (log activity of the species measured, A) or pcA (log concentration of species measured, A) be plotted on the abscissa (ho

20、 of total concentration of the ion of interest.DISCUSSIONIf the electrode is calibrated using pure-concentration standards and measurements made on untreated samples, results must be corrected for the sampleionic strength and the presence of complexing agents. More commonly, a reagent is added to al

22、ctrode.FIG. 1 Example Response Curve (log activity on the horizontal axis)D4127 182concentration, nthe actual amount of a substance in a given volume of solution.DISCUSSIONWhen measuring ionic concentrations by electrode, a distinction is made between the concentration of the free, unbound ion, and

23、total concentrationthat includes ions bound to complexing agents.dissociation constant, na number indicating the extent to which a substance dissociates in solution.DISCUSSIONFor a simple two-species complex AB, the constant is given by the product of the molar concentrations of A and of B divided b

26、 failure of the electrode body or chemical attack on the sensing membrane, andcan range from a few days, if the electrode is used continuously in hot or abrasive flowing streams, to several years under normal laboratory conditions.The life-time of liquid membrane electrodes is limited by loss of ion

27、 exchanger with use, and is generally 1 to 6 months.FIG. 2 Example Calibration Curve (log concentration on the horizontal axis)D4127 183electrode pair, na sensing electrode and a reference electrode; the reference electrode may be separate or combined in one bodywith the sensing electrode.electrolyt

28、e, na substance that ionizes in aqueous solution; also, a solution containing ions.DISCUSSIONWeak electrolytes are only slightly dissociated into ions in solution (acetic acid), and strong electrolytes are highly dissociated (HCl, NaCl).equitransference, nequal diffusion rates of the positively and

29、negatively charged ions of an electrolyte across a liquid junction.equitransferent filling solution, na reference electrode filling solution in which the diffusion rates of negatively and positivelycharged ions are equal.filling solution, nthe solution inside a sensing or reference electrode that is

30、 replenished periodically.DISCUSSIONSolutions that are permanently sealed within the electrode (like the buffer inside a pH electrode) are usually called internal reference solutions todifferentiate them from filling solutions.internal filling solution of sensing electrode, nin liquid membrane elect

31、rodes, an aqueous internal filling solution contacts theinternal reference element and the membrane, which is saturated with ion exchanger.DISCUSSIONThe filling solution normally contains a fixed level of chloride and of the ion for which the electrode was designed; the concentration of this iondete

32、rmines the zero potential point of the electrode. In addition, the filling solution is saturated with silver chloride to prevent the silver chloride ofthe internal reference element from dissolving.reference electrode filling solution, na concentrated salt solution contacting the internal reference

33、element and the samplesolution.DISCUSSIONThe composition of the filling solution is chosen to maximize stability of the potentials developed at the internal reference element/filling solutioninterface and the filling solution/sample junction. In general, filling solutions for AgCl internal construct

34、ion reference electrodes should: (1) containCl and be saturated withAgCl to prevent the reference element from dissolving; (2) be at least ten times higher in total ionic strength than the sample;(3) be equitransferent; (4) not contain the ion being measured or an ion that interferes with the measur

35、ement.flowthrough electrodes, nion-selective and reference electrodes designed for anaerobic measurements.DISCUSSIONThe two electrodes are connected by plastic tubing to a syringe or peristaltic pump, and the sample is pumped through the electrodes at a constant rate.Ion-selective electrodes can be

36、made in a flow through configuration for the measurement of very small samples (0.2 to 0.3 mL) or samples that mustbe measured anaerobically.Grans plots, na method of plotting apparent concentration (as derived from the electrode potential) versus the volume ofreagent added to the sample.DISCUSSIONG

37、rans plots are especially useful for plotting titrations that would give poor end-point breaks if plotted conventionally. These plots can also be usedto determine concentration by known addition with greater precision than can be obtained by a single addition measurement.hysteresis (electrode memory

38、), nhysteresis is said to have occurred if, after the concentration has been changed and restoredto its original value, there is a different potential observed.DISCUSSIONThe reproducibility of the electrode will consequently be poor. The systematic error is generally in the direction of the concentr

39、ation of the solutionin which the electrode was previously immersed.D4127 184interfering substance, nany species, other than the ion being measured, whose presence in the sample solution affects themeasured potential of a cell.DISCUSSIONInterfering substances fall into two classes: “electrode” inter

40、ferences and “method” interferences. Examples of the first class would be those substancesthat give a similar response to the ion being measured and whose presence generally results in an apparent increase in the activity (or concentration)of the ion to be determined (for example, Na+ for the Ca+ el

41、ectrode), those species that interact with the membrane so as to change its chemicalcomposition (that is, organic solvents for the liquid or poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes) or electrolytes present at a high concentrationgiving rise to appreciable liquid-junction potentials. The secon

42、d class is a substance that interacts with the ion being measured so as to decrease itsactivity or apparent concentration, but where the electrode continues to report the true activity (for example, CN present in the measurement of Ag+).internal reference electrode, na reference electrode that is co

43、ntained inside an ion-selective electrode assembly.DISCUSSIONThe system frequently consists of a silver-silver chloride electrode in contact with an appropriate solution containing chloride and a fixed concentrationof the ion for which the membrane is selective.ion-selective electrode, nan electroch

44、emical sensors, the potentials of which is linearly dependent on the logarithm of theactivity of a given ion in solution.DISCUSSIONSuch devices are distinct from systems that involve redox reactions. The term ion-specific electrode is not recommended. The term specific impliesthat the electrode does

45、 not respond to additional ions. Since no electrode is truly specific for one ion, the term ion-selective is recommended as moreappropriate. Selective ion-sensitive electrode is a little-used term to describe an ion-selective electrode.ionic strength, nthe weighted concentration of ions in solution,

46、 computed by multiplying the concentration (c) of each ion insolution by the corresponding square of the charge (Z) on the ion, summing and dividing by 2: ionic strength = (12)Z2C.DISCUSSIONConductivity measurements give a rough estimate of ionic strength. The ionic strength (and to a lesser extent,

47、 the concentration of nonionic dissolvedspecies) largely determines the activity coefficient of each ion in the solution.ionic-strength adjustment buffer, na pH buffered solution of high ionic strength added to samples and calibration solutionsbefore measurement in order to achieve identical ionic s

48、trength and hydrogen ion activity.DISCUSSIONIn addition, complexing agents and other components are often added to minimize the effects of certain interferences.isopotential point, nfor a cell containing an ion-selective electrode and a reference electrode there is often a particular activityof the

49、ion concerned for which the potential of the cell is independent of temperature.DISCUSSIONThat activity, and the corresponding potential, define the isopotential point. The identity of the reference electrode, and the composition of the fillingsolution of the measuring electrode, must be specified.junction potential, nfor the total observed potential developed between the sensing and reference electrodes, the portion thatis formed at the liquid/liquid junction between the reference elect
