Penicillin heralded the dawn of the antibiotic age when it was discovered in 1928 and is now the most widely used antibiotic in the world. A membrane electrode was developed for the quantitative analysis of penicillin. The table above shows the data which were collected using a set of penicillin standards against saturated calomel electrode. An unknown sample produced a potential of 142 mV. A) Which served as the reference electrode? B) What is the molar concentration of penicillin in the sample?
