Chapter 23, Problem 23.7QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The source of junction potential in a glass-reference electrode system should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Glass electrode consists of a glass bulb that contains a solution of hydrochloric acid with fixed concentration. It is a type of ion selective electrode. It measures the pH of the solution.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The source of boundary potential in a membrane electrode should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Membrane electrodes consists a thin glass membrane and are used to measure the pH of the solution.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The source of asymmetric potential in a glass-membrane electrode should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Membrane electrodes consists a thin glass membrane and are used to measure the pH of the solution.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The source of the potential of a crystalline membrane electrode that is used to determine the concentration of ${\text{F}}^{-}$ should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Membrane electrodes consists a thin glass membrane and are used to measure the pH of the solution. Crystalline membrane are manufactured by the ionic compounds or a homogeneous mixture of ionic compounds.
