Chapter 15, Problem 15.39P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The selectivites of ${\text{Li}}^{\text{+}}$ ion-selective electrode are given, the alkali metal ion with most interference and the alkaline metal ion with the most interference and to give equal response for the two ions what must be greater $\left[{\text{K}}^{\text{+}}\right]\text{than}\left[{\text{Li}}^{\text{+}}\right]$ has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:-

Ion-selective electrode

An ion-selective electrode (ISE) best known as a specific ion electrode (SIE), is a sensor (or transducer) that transforms the activity of a specific ion dissolved in a solution into an electrical potential.
