Electrodes standardization

Ionic Equilibria.. The ion product constant of D2O (see Table 3) is an order of magnitude less than the value for H2O (24,31,32). The relationship pD = pH + 0.41 (molar scale 0.45 molal scale) for pD ia the range 2—9 as measured by a glass electrode standardized ia H2O has been established (33). For many phenomena strongly dependent on hydrogen ion activity, as is the case ia many biological contexts, the difference between pH and pD may have a large effect on the iaterpretation of experiments. 

To establish the operational pH scale, the pH electrode can be cahbrated with a single aqueous pH 7.00 phosphate buffer, with the ideal Nernst slope assumed. As Eqs. (2a)-(2d) require the free hydrogen ion concentration, an addihonal electrode standardization step is necessary. That is where the operational scale is converted to the concentration scale pcH (= -log [H ]) as described by Avdeef and Bucher [24] ...

For on-line measurement the BioView sensor is connected directly by a 1.5-m bifurcated liquid light conductor (Lumatec, Germany) to a quartz window in a 25-mm electrode standard port of vessel bioreactor (Fig. 2). Contamination and sterilization problems could be avoided, because there is no contact between sensor and fermentation broth.

The standard reduction potential would be observed if the half-cell of interest (with unit activities) were connected to a standard hydrogen electrode, as it is in Figure 14-7. It is nearly impossible to construct such a cell, because we have no way to adjust concentrations and ionic strength to give unit activities. In reality, activities less than unity are used in each half-cell, and the Nemst equation is employed to extract the value of E° from the cell voltage.12 In the hydrogen electrode, standard buffers with known pH (Table 15-3) are used to obtain known activities of H+. 

F. H2S from cigarette smoke was collected by bubbling smoke through aqueous NaOH and measured with a sulfide ion-selective electrode. Standard additions of volume Vs containing Na2S at concentration cs = 1.78 mM were then made to F0 = 25.0 mL of unknown and the electrode response, E, was measured.

Pore waters were analyzed for pH, alkalinity, salinity, and sulfate concentration following centrifugation. pH was measured with a Ross combination electrode standardized with commercial NIST traceable buffers. Alkalinity determinations were made by a single addition of 0.01 N HCL (5). Salinity was determined with a refractometer, and with an accuracy of +/- 0.5 o/oo. Sulfate was determined turbidimetrically (6). 

The values of the electrode standard potentials were obtained by measuring the EMF s of suitably arranged cells at varying concentrations and by extrapolating the found values into a state of infinitely diluted solutions in which the activity coefficients of electromotively active substances equal unity. To determine standard potentials is very laborious and requires considerable care. A detailed description of the working method and the method of results evaluation is beyond the limits of this book it is, therefore, necessary to refer to the pertinent technical literature" ... 

Figure 3.3.8 Schematic illustration of the origin of activation overpotentials in a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell. The solid curves represent exponential analytic current densities versus electrode potential of the hydrogen electrode (standard potential 0 V) and the oxygen electrode (standard potential 1.23 V). Relevant for a PEMFC fuel cell are the HOR (anode) and the ORR (cathode) branches. To satisfy a cell current (yceii), the anode potential moves more positive by riact,HOR> while the cathode potential moves more negative by iiact.oRR- As a result of this, the observed cell potential is V, which is smaller than 1.23 V. The shape of the individual characteristics is such that the cathode overpotentials are larger than those at the anode.
