    PH Meter

    Thomas Agung
    A pH meter measures the pH of acidic and alkaline solutions on a scale of 0 to 14. It has two electrodes - a glass electrode that measures the hydrogen ion activity and a reference electrode. The pH meter translates the voltage difference between the electrodes into a pH value displayed on the screen. It must be calibrated using buffer solutions of known pH values to ensure accurate readings. The operational procedure involves connecting the pH electrode, selecting pH or mV mode, calibrating using buffers, taking measurements, cleaning and storing the electrode properly.

    PH- METER

    Introduction:
    pH-Meter is capable of giving pH values of an acidic as well as alkaline samples. pH is a
    unit of measure which describes the degree of acidity or alkalinity (basic) of a solution.It is
    measured on a scale of 0 to 14.The formal definition of pH is the negative logarithm of the
    hydrogen ion activity.
    pH = -log[H+]
    An acid can be defined as a proton donor, a chemical that increases the concentration of
    hydrogen ions in solution.A base can be defined as a proton acceptor, a chemical that reduces the
    concentration of hydrogen ions in solution.A voltmeter in the probe measures the difference
    between the voltages of the two electrodes.The meter then translates the voltage difference into
    pH and displays it on the screen.

    Principle:
    If two solution are separated by pH sensitive glass and electrical potential will develop
    across the membrane if the solution inside the bulb contains hydrogen ion concentration the
    membrane potential will change as the hydrogen ion concentration of the other solution varies if
    electrical connection are made to the solution inside the glass bulb by the pH electrode internal
    element and outside the glass by a reference electrode the membrane potential can be measure by
    a voltmeter. The convenient scale for the reporting of hydrogen ion concentration is derived from

    pH = log 10
    The pH meter has two electrodes in one tube, glass and reference electrode. A saturated
    KCL and HCL solution is contained in a tube which is inside of an outer tube that will have
    contact with the solution to be measured. This outer tube has a double glass bulb with NA+
    which makes an ion specific electrode. When measuring the pH of a solution, a salt bridge
    forms. The NA+ ion, not H+, crosses the glass membrane of the pH electrode and allows for a

    change in free energy which is measured by the pH meter as the concentration of H+.The value
    of the unknown solutions may be presented directly in pH units ore milli-volts.

    Operational procedure:
    pH Measurement

    Connect the combination pH electrode to the input socket and calibrate.

    Connect the ATC probe to the knob and insert in the testing solution

    Set the selector switch to the pH positions. Wash the electrodes with distilled
    water and dip the combined electrode in the solution under test. The display
    shows the pH value of the solution directly in pH units.

    Between measurements, leave the electrode immersed in distilled water and


    function selector switch to standby position.

    mV Measurements

    Set the function selector and Switch to mV position.Dip the combined electrode
    in solution under test.

    The display will show mV value of the solution under test

    Calibration of Electrode

    Connect the combination pH electrode to the input socket, wash it with distilled
    water and switch on the instrument.

    Dip the electrode in 7 pH buffer solution

    Set the temperature control to the the buffer solution temperature.

    Ste the function selectror switch to pH position and adjust with calibrate control
    till the digital display shows the precise pH valure of the buffer solution.

    Now move the function selector switch to stand by

    Remove the electrode from the buffer solution and wash ift with distilled or
    deionised water

    Dip the combined electrode into another buffer solution

    Set the temperature control to the temperature of the selected buffer solution.

    Set the function selector switch to pH position. Adjust the slope correction control
    at the front panel until the display shows the pH value of the selected buffer
    solution check the correct readings are obtained with both the buffer solutions.

    Cleaning and storage of the electrode

    Electrode can be cleaned by distilled water and wiped with the tissue paper gently
    and stored in the 3M potassium chloride solution.
