Which of the ff. statements are true about errors in pH measurement? Acid error occurs at very low pH because the glass membrane is saturated with protons. Sodium error occurs at low pH and high concentrations of salt. The electrode may be used between pH 2 and 10 after calibrating with pH 4 and 10 buffer solutions. The pH measurement is taken as soon as the electrode is immersed in the sample solution.
