Which electrode is used in pH meter?
Combine electrod used in ph meter
Why glass electrode cannot be used for solution of Ph above 9?
This is because of alkaline error above pH of 9. Alkaline Error is a systematic error that occurs when glass electrodes are used to read the pH of an extremely alkaline solution (pH above 9); the electrode responds to sodium ions as though they were hydrogen ions, giving a pH reading that is consistently too low. However it is now possible to purchase [H electrodes made from special glass that can be used above pH 9.
What is an indicator and what are the common indicators used for pH?
They are molecules which change color at a certain pH. You can tell at which pH your solution is by using indicators and matching up their colors. See the Web Links to the left for some examples of indicators (there are many) and at what pH each one changes color.Application of pH indicators:Definition of Titration: Titration is a common laboratory method of quantitative/chemical analysis that can be used to determine the concentration of a known reactant.Definition of a Buffer: A mixture that is resistant to change( or in this case to pH change). These are usually made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base.Now that you know what a titration is then lets see what they are used for:* Titrations * BuffersAn indicator in a titration is used to determine the pH of the solution when the reactant and the products are at the equivalence point(when moles of H+ from acid= moles of OH- from base).
The principles of pH meter?
When you place the PH electrode in a PH unknown solution you'll find that an electrical potential difference is produced. THIS IS DUE TO: Difference of H+ ion concentration between the test solution and the glass bulb electrode (part of PH electrode that is sensitive to H+ ion concentration) After that the potential difference of the reference electrode (another part of PH electrode) is measured and compared to the potential of the glass bulb electrode by means of a meter. results are read from 0-14 The porous glass of the electrode prevents the H+ ions to diffuse from both sides, but allows the exchange of Na+ ions (contained in the silicates of the glass) with the external solution, for keeping the continuity ot this electrical system. The H+ activity difference between the solution inside the electrode and the external one is measured as electric potential difference, then, converted in pH units (0-14) by the instrument.
Why is the pH meter placed in distilled water before testing each solution?
Not the pH-meter, but the electrode.
What is the measurement of hydrogen ion concentration?
A measurement of hydrogen ion concentration is pH, which equals-log[H+], which is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration (actually activity, but that is usually ignored). This quantity can be measured with a hydrogen electrode (as found in a pH meter), which is a type of ion selective electrode.
Which electrode is used in pH meter?
Combine electrod used in ph meter
What receptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration?
A chemoreceptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration.
Ph meter is an electronic instrument with an electrode that is sensitive to the what ions?
The pH meter measures the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in an aqueous solution

Why is the pH of the medium important in edta titration?
why is the pH of the meadium important in EDTA titration
What is the mechanism of methyl orange in sodium carbonate and hydrogen chloride titration?
Methyl orange acts as a pH indicator in the process of sodium carbonate and hydrogen chloride titration. The addition of methyl orange will indicate the ratio of sodium carbonate to hydrogen chloride by the colour which develops.
What is the pH at the endpoint of a titration?
that depends on the nature of the acid and base used
Explain the theory behind the potentiometric titration of acid base?
In potentiometric titration, the change in the concentration of H+ ions are monitored based on the emf measurement with respect to Saturated calomel electrode ( a reference electrode having a standard reduction potential of 0.2422 V). H+ ions concentration in terms of pH change is measured using primarily by quinhydrone electrode. Based on hydrogen electrode also it can be measured. An electrochemical cell consists of H+ ions (acid to be titrated) in contact with hydrogen gas (1 atm) or quinhydrone/ quinone should be formed and the emf (potential difference) of the cell is measured with reference to saturated calomel electrode (SCE). Then based on Nernst equation value of standard electrode potential of hydrogen ion is, EH = Eo + 0.0591 log [H+] or EH = - 0.0591 pH since Eo = 0 V and -log [H+] = pH So EMF of the cell is Ecell = ESCE - EH Ecell = 0.2422 - EH The Ecell value is plotted ( Y axis) against volume of base added (X axis). The volume corresponds to drastic Ecell change gives equivalence point of the titration. At equivalence point all the free H+ ions are replaced as H2O and this is reflected and can be inferred in the Ecell values.
What creteria is used for chosing an indicator in acid base titration?
pH range of indicator should be in the rapid pH gradient.
What is the equation of titration with methyl orange?
The equation of titration with methyl orange is C14H14N3NaO3S. Methyl orange is a pH indicator that is often used in titration, which is a laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis.
Why is distilled water used during titration?
distilled water is used (as opposed to tap water) as it does not contain ions or impurities that may affect the results of the titration, usually by reacting with the acid/alkali themselves or by changing the pH of the solution.As water is pH 7, it is neutral and will not change the pH.
