Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The pMg of the solution should be determined.

Concept introduction:

pX = logax=n(EcellK)0.0592

K=EJEref+L

n − number of electrons

K − constant

L − constant

EJ − junction potential

Eref − reference electrode potential

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The range of Mg2+ activities within which the true value might be expected should be determined.

EJ − junction potential

Eref − reference electrode potential

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The relative error in [Mg2+] associated with the uncertainty in Ej should be determined.

Discuss the mechanism by which the potential of a platinum electrode becomes poised by immersion into a solution of Fe(II) and Fe(III) in 1 M HCl. Approximately how much charge is required to shift the electrode potential by 100 mV? Why does the potential become uncertain at low concentra tions of Fe(II) and Fe(III), even if the ratio of their concentrations is held near unity? Does this experimental fact reflect thermodynamic considerations? How well do your answers to these issues apply to the establishment of potential at an ionselective electrode?
A 0.2g sample of toothpaste containing fluoride was treated with 50 cm3 of a suitable buffer solution and diluted to 100 cm3. Using a fluoride ion-selective electrode, a 25.00 cm3 aliquot of this solution gave cell potentials of –155.3 mV before and –176.2 mV after spiking with 0.1 cm3 of a 0.5 mg/cm3 fluoride standard. Calculate the pF– corresponding to each cell potential and the percentage by weight of fluoride in the toothpaste.
From the following potentials, calculate the activity of Cl¯ in 1 M KCI. E°(calomel electrode) = 0.268 V E(calomel electrode, 1 M KCI) = 0.280 V
