    LC -6 pH Metry - Principle – Applications.

    Keywords Principle, applications and advantages of pH metric titrations

    pH metric titrations
    Principle: Here the basic principle is that when two electrodes are
    kept in two solutions having different hydrogen ion concentration and the
    electrodes are connected to a potentiometer and the solutions via salt
    bridge, a small potential difference (EMF) can be observed. If the standard
    EMF produced by hydrogen ion species of a known concentration is
    known, the EMF can be measured by comparison and calibration. The pH
    and EMF are related by the equation, pH = (EMF/0.00019837) T
    Where ‘T’ is the absolute temperature.

    Hence, pH value of the solution increases with the increase in


    temperature
    How to measure the EMF produced by Hydrogen ion species?

    The measurements of pH are carried out with a glass electrode.

    End point/ stoichiometric equivalence point in these titrations is measured


    from the plot that is drawn for pH against volume of titrant. Model graphs
    are given below.
    Model Graphs:

    Applications of pH metric titrations:

     Water quality: pH meters are used to measure water quality in municipal water
    supplies, swimming pools, and aquariums. They can also be used to monitor the
    progress of natural processes that break down pollutants.

     Agriculture: pH meters are used to test soil quality and water quality in agriculture.

     Food industry: pH meters are used to ensure the quality and ratio of ingredients in
    food products.

     Pharmaceuticals: pH meters are used to evaluate the acidity or alkalinity of drugs and
    to develop pharmaceutical drugs.

     Medical diagnostics: pH meters are used in medical diagnostics and clinical


    laboratories for a variety of applications, including quality control, enzyme activity
    studies, and monitoring acid-base balance.

     Biotechnology: pH meters are used in biotechnology departments to ensure that cells


    maintain a constant pH so that enzyme reactions can take place.

     Brewing: pH meters are used in the brewing of wine or beer.

     Manufacturing: pH meters are used in manufacturing.

     Cosmetics and detergents: pH meters are used to develop cosmetics and detergents.
