equirements for sample and standard solutions The requirements for sample solutions and standard solutions are as follows: The temperatures of sample solution and standard solution shall be kept at 50°C or less. Exceeding 50°C may cause electrode deterioration. The standard solution in calibration and the sample solution in measurement shall have almost the same temperature.
easurement hints A gradual rise in solution temperature due to the magnetic stirrer generating heat may cause an apparent potential drift. When it happens, reduce the influence of the temperature changes by covering the magnetic stirrer with heat insulation such as polystyrene foam or using a thermostatic bath.

mmonia electrodes The structure of the ammonia electrode is shown in Fig. 4. The ammonia electrode is configured by a glass electrode for pH measurement, a support pipe, and a membrane cap. The tip of the glass electrode for pH measurement is made of a pH glass ion selective membrane, and the tip of the support pipe has a membrane cap provided with a membrane attached to it.
The abundance ratio between the ammonium ion NH and ammonia NH based on the pH value is shown in Fig. 5. It is understood that when the pH value becomes 12 or more (alkalinity), most of the ammonium ions NH convert to ammonia NH ammonia NH (gases dissolved in...
Page 68
The ammonia NH that has been converted to gas permeates through the membrane, and disassociates into ammonium ions NH and hydroxide ions in the internal solution. (Gas) + H + OH … (2) The expression shown below can be obtained if the disassociation constant is assumed to be K.
haracteristics of ammonia electrode Measurement range The range where linearity is established between the logarithm of the ion concentration and the electromotive force is called the measurement range. In general, the range for measuring ion concentration using ammonia electrodes is a maximum of around 110 mol/L and a minimum of around 110 mol/L to 110...
Impact of pH The ammonia electrode can be used in the specified pH range. The impact of the pH may cause a decrease in the slope of the ammonia electrode, or parallel shifting of the calibration curve. To prevent these effects, add an appropriate amount of pH-adjusting ISA to keep the pH of the solution constant in advance.
The optimal way to minimize the impact of temperature on the measurement of the ammonium ion concentration is to reduce the difference between the temperature of the standard solution in calibration and the temperature of the sample solution in measurement to ±1°C. The following table shows the change in the theoretical slope of the ammonia electrode depending on the temperature of the ammonia electrode.
Impact of coexistent substances Because ammonia electrode determines ammonia concentration by measuring pH change in inner solution caused by ammonia gas permeating through the membrane, presence of acidic or basic gas other than ammonia causes error. Such acidic gas as H S or CO , however, is ionized in alkali region and does not exist as acidic gas, so that no problem...
