ERRORS IN pH MEASUREMENT:

Standard Error
a pH measurement cannot be more accurate than our standards +- .01pH
a pH measurement cannot be more accurate than our standards +- .01pH
Standard Error
junction potential
if the ionic composition of the analyte solution is different from tat of the standard buffer, the junction potential will change even if the pH of the two solutions is the same. +- .01

junction potential
junction potential drift
most combination electrodes ha a Ag/AgCl reference electrode containing saturated KCl solution More that 350 mg Ag per liter dissolve in the KCl. In the porous plug, KCl is diluted and AgCl can precipitate. if analyte solution contains a reducing agent, Ag(s) can precipitatein the plug. Causin a slow drift of the pH reading. Fix by recalibrating.

Sodium error
When H+ is very low and Na+ is high, the electrode responds to Na+ and the apparent pH is lower than the true pH.
When H+ is very low and Na+ is high, the electrode responds to Na+ and the apparent pH is lower than the true pH.
Sodium error
Acid error
In strong acid, the measured pH is higher than the actual pH. perhaps because the glass is saturated with H+ and cannot be further protonated.

Acid error
Hydration of Glass
A dry electrode requires several hours of soaking before it responds to H+ correctly

Equilibration time
It takes time for an electrode to equilibrate with a solution. a well buffered solution requires approx 30s with adequate stirring. A poorly buffered solution needs any minutes.

a pH meter should be calibrated at the same temperature at which the measurement will be made

Cleaning
if an electrode has been exposed to a hydrophobic liquid it should be cleaned with a solvent and then conditioned well in aqueous solution. Will cause drift.
