5、 Definitions of Terms Relevant to Ion-Selective ElectrodeTechnology:acid error,nin very acid solutions,the activity of water isreduced(less than unity)causing a non-Nernstian responsein glass electrodes.DISCUSSIONA positive error in the pH reading results.activity,nthe thermodynamically effective co
6、ncentration ofa free ion in solution.DISCUSSIONIn dilute solutions,ionic activity,and concentration arepractically identical,but in solutions of high ionic strength,or in thepresence of complexing agents,activity may differ significantly fromconcentration.Ionic activity,not concentration,determines
7、both therate and the extent of chemical reactions.activity coefficient,na factor,that relates activity,A,to theconcentration,C of a species in solution:A 5 CDISCUSSIONThe activity coefficient is dependent on the ionicstrength of the solution.Ions of similar size and charge have similaractivity coeff
8、icients.alkaline error,nin alkaline solutions,where hydrogen ionactivity becomes very small,some glass electrodes respondto other cations,such as sodium.DISCUSSIONAnegative error in the pH reading results.By changingthe composition of the glass,the affinity of the glass for sodium ion canbe reduced.
9、Such electrodes are known as lithium glass,high-pH,orfull-range electrodes.analate,nthe sample being analyzed;used in the terms“analate addition”and“analate subtraction.”DISCUSSIONThis term differs from the term“analyte,”whichdescribes the chemical species of interest in an analytical test.asymmetry
10、 potential,nthe potential across a glass pHelectrode membrane when the inside and outside of themembrane are in contact with solutions of identical pH.DISCUSSIONThis term has also been used to define the observedpotential differences between identical electrode pairs placed in iden-tical solutions.c
11、alibration curve,na plot of the potential(emf or E)of agiven ion-selective electrode cell assembly(ion-selectiveelectrode combined with an identified reference electrode)versus the logarithm of the ionic activity(or concentration)of a given species.DISCUSSIONFor uniformity,it is recommended that the
