Step 1
A potentiometric biosensor is a type of electrode that uses an enzyme to catalyze a reaction and produce an electrical signal. This type of electrode is not specifically designed to measure pH. A gas-sensing electrode is used to measure the concentration of a Show more…

An ion-sensitive electrode is used to measure the pH of a solution in which the hydrogen ion activity is known to within 3%. Determine the percent uncertainty in the pH when pH = 7. p is rho, the density symbol.

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)
