(a)
Interpretation:
The calibration of calcium ion selective electrode is used for the determination of pCa and the table for this data is shown below-
| 5.00 | -53.8 |
| 4.00 | -27.7 |
| 3.00 | +2.7 |
| 2.00 | +31.9 |
| 1.00 | +65.1 |
The relation between potential and the and the pCa is linear. Using the data, a least square straight line is to be plotted using the spreadsheet.
Concept introduction:
The least square method is a method in which the best result is obtained for the set data point by minimizing the sum of offset or residuals from the plot of curve statistically.
(b)
Interpretation:
The least square expression is to be determined for the best straight line through the point.
Concept introduction:
The least square method is a method in which the best result is obtained for the set data point by minimizing the sum of offset or residuals from the plot of curve statistically.
(c)
Interpretation:
The standard deviation is to be determined for the slope and the intercept of the least-square line.
Concept introduction:
The slope of line is also called as gradient of line which is used to define the direction and steepness of the line.
The intercept line is the y −axis of line at which point it crosses X −axis.
(d)
Interpretation:
The value pCa of serum solution is to be determined in which the electrode potential value is 10.7mV. The absolute and relative standard deviation for pCa is to be determined when obtained result is from the single voltage measurement.
Concept introduction:
The standard deviation method is used for the quantification of the amount of variation or for the dispersion for the set of the data values.
(e)
Interpretation:
The absolute and relative standard deviation for pCa is to be determined when the result obtained from the part (d) in millimeters is the mean value of two replicate measurements and this calculation is to be repeated for the eight measurements.
Concept introduction:
The standard deviation method is used for the quantification of the amount of variation or for the dispersion for the set of the data values.

- Although the hydrogen electrode may be conceptually the simplest electrode and is the basis for the choice of reference potential in electrochemical systems, it is cumbersome to use. Therefore, several substitutes for it have been devised. One of these alternatives is the quinhydrone electrode (quinhydrone, Q ⋅ QH2, is a complex of quinone, C6H4O2 = Q, and hydroquinone, C6H4O2H2 = QH2), where the concentrations of Q ⋅ QH2 and QH2 are equal to each other. The electrode half-reaction is Q(aq) + 2 H+(aq) + 2 e− → QH2(aq), E⦵ = +0.6994 V.
