Test: Measurement of pH - Question 1

The hydrogen ion content in water goes from 0.203 g/L to 0.0032 g/L. How much does the pH change?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of pH - Question 1
A change of 1 pH unit means that the concentration of hydrogen ions has increased (or decreased) by a factor of 10, and a change of 2 pH units means the concentration has changed by a factor of 100. The pH value is given by

pH = log10 [1/hydrogen ion concentration]

pH1 = log(1/0.203) = 0.69

pH2 = log (1/ 0.0032) = 2.495

Change in pH = 0.69 − 2.495 = −1.805

Test: Measurement of pH - Question 2

Which of the following is the formula for pH calculation?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of pH - Question 2
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. Hence, its formula is -log10[H+].

Test: Measurement of pH - Question 11

Which of the following is the simplest of pH meters?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of pH - Question 11
Null-detector type pH meter is the simplest of all pH meters. It is also known as the potentiometer type.
Test: Measurement of pH - Question 12

In which of the following ways can zero drift be reduced in pH meters?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of pH - Question 12
Zero drift be reduced in pH meters using balanced and differential amplifiers. Their response to external signals is additive and to internal noise is subtractive.
Test: Measurement of pH - Question 13

Which of the following can be used to provide automatic temperature compensation?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of pH - Question 13
To provide automatic temperature compensation, thermistors must be used. As the temperature of the solution changes, the circuit constants are altered accordingly.
Test: Measurement of pH - Question 14

Which of the following is not the characteristic of null-detector type pH meter?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of pH - Question 14
Null-detector type pH meter has greater accuracy than 0.01 pH. pH value is read from the calibrated precision voltage source dial.
Test: Measurement of pH - Question 15

Which of the following is not the characteristic of direct-reading type pH meters?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of pH - Question 15
Direct reading type pH meters do not require a balancing process. Its operation is simple and readings can be read directly.
Test: Measurement of pH - Question 16

Which of the following is not the characteristic of the chopper amplifier pH meter?

Detailed Solution for Test: Measurement of pH - Question 16
The use of a chopper amplifier in the pH meter leads to zero instability. It leads to various other problems for high-input resistance.
