Reference electrodes generally used are hydrogen electrodes, calomel electrodes, and silver chloride electrodes. The indicator electrode forms an electrochemical half-cell with the interested ions in the test solution. The reference electrode forms the other half-cell. The overall electric potential is calculated as
Potentiometry passively measures the potential of a solution between two electrodes, affecting the solution very little in the process. One electrode is called the reference electrode and has a constant potential, while the other one is an indicator electrode whose potential changes with the sample's composition. Therefore, the difference in ...
An ion-selective electrode (ISE), also known as a specific ion electrode (SIE), is a simple membrane-based potentiometric device which measures the activity of ions in solution. [1] It is a transducer (or sensor ) that converts the change in the concentration of a specific ion dissolved in a solution into an electrical potential .
Total ionic strength adjustment buffer (TISAB) is a buffer solution which increases the ionic strength of a solution to a relatively high level. This is important for potentiometric measurements, including ion selective electrodes , because they measure the activity of the analyte rather than its concentration.
The Gran plot is based on the Nernst equation which can be written as = + {+} where E is a measured electrode potential, E 0 is a standard electrode potential, s is the slope, ideally equal to RT/nF, and {H +} is the activity of the hydrogen ion.
A platinum wire electrode is immersed in a saturated aqueous solution of quinhydrone, in which there is the following equilibrium C 6 H 6 O 2 ⇌ C 6 H 4 O 2 + 2H + +2e −. The potential difference between the platinum electrode and a reference electrode is dependent on the activity, +, of hydrogen ions in the solution.

A potentiometer being calibrated and then measuring an unknown voltage. R 1 is the resistance of the entire resistance wire. The arrow head represents the moving wiper.. In this circuit, the ends of a uniform resistance wire R 1 are connected to a regulated DC supply V S for use as a voltage divider.
