Potentiometry
Electroanalytical chemistry
Potential is measured under
conditions of no current
ow
Measured potential
Determine analytical
quantity of interest of
[analyte]
Generally the
concentration of some
component of the analyte
solution
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Potentiometry
Potential the develops in the electrochemical cell is the result of
the free energy change that would occur if the chemical
phenomena were to proceed until the equilibrium condition has
been satised

Potentiometric Measurement System
Potentiometer
Analyte solution
2 electrodes
Reference
Ind of ions in the soln and
T
Indicator
Produces potential related
to [analyte]
Types: membrane &
metallic
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Membrane: Ion Selective Electrodes
Enables selective detection of ions in presence of multitude of
other substances
Characteristics:
Low solubility-solids, semi-solids, polymers
Some electrical conductivity
Selective! :)

Common ISEs
pH electrode
contains a thin glass membrane that responds to the H+
concentration in a solution
Fluoride-Ion Selective E
Frant & Ross
Selectively binds F- into both of its surfaces
Exterior surface: contact with the analyte solution
Interior surface with the uoride standard solution
(reference electrode solution)

Fluoride Ion Selective Electrode
Difference in the activity of
F- in the analyte solution
and in the membranes

Alkaline and Acid Error
Alkaline
Absorb alkaline ions
Replace H+ ion outer gel
layer of glass membrane
pH value lower than
actual pH
Noticeable at pH 9-10
Acid
Absorb acid molecules
Decrease the activity of
hydrogen ions
pH higher than actual

Standard
Calibration
Method
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Standard Calibration Method
Calibration: established a relationship between signals
measured and known concentrations of analyte
SCM: uses a series of standard covering the appropriated
concentration range
Signals measured are directly related to the concentration of
the standard
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Standard Calibration Method
Accounts for constants that may vary in the experiment
Signals from the analyte are directly compared against those
from the standard through the calibration curve
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Disadvantages for SCM
Activity, not concentration should be measured
Does not mimic the natural environment of the analyte
Time-consuming
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Standard
Addition
Method
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Standard Addition Method
Addition (spiking) of one
or more increments of
standard analyte solution
Potential recorded before
and after
Saturday, August 13, 2011
Assumptions
No change in ionic strength
Activity coefcient
No signicant alteration of
junction potential
