Explain why small uncertainties in the measured potential of ISEs can cause large errors in the determined analyte concentration.

Expert Solution
Introduction

Ion selective electrode also known as the specific electrode, converts the activity of a particular ion into the electric potential.  These types of electrodes are widely used in research area mainly in biochemical or biophysical areas. It is considered to be one of the best methods to determine the analyte concentration.
