Question

Glass membrane electrodes can be used to
measure H + ions in solution. But at a very
small concentration of H + ions (alkaline
conditions) it gives an error because it also
responds to Na + ions.
a) Explain the working principle of a glass
membrane electrode which can be used to
measure H + or pH ions! Include the cell
notation on the pH meter's electrode and the
equation relating the potential to the H + ions
in the solution!
b) Calculate the relative error of the H + ion
measurement that occurs if the pH meter
electrode is used to measure 1 x 10-2 M
NaOH solution (assuming kH, Na = 10 ^ -10
and the activity coefficient = 1)
