CHEM 213Instrumental Analysis Lab Lecture – Ion Selective Electrode and HPLC
Determination of Fluoride in Mouthwash by Direct Potentiometry with an Ion-Selective Electrode Potentiometry (Ch 15) – analytical method in which an electric potential difference (a voltage) of an electrochemical cell is measured Ion selective electrode (ISE) - electrical potential across a selective membrane is dependent on the activity of a specific analyte ion. Fluoride electrode – uses LaF3 membrane to develop a potential that depends selectively on activity of F- (aq). 1000:1 preference for F- over Cl-, Br-, I-, NO3-, SO42- OH- is an interference
Determination of Fluoride in Mouthwash by Direct Potentiometry with an Ion-Selective Electrode Potentiometry (Ch 15) – analytical method in which an electric potential difference (a voltage) of an electrochemical cell is measured Ion selective electrode (ISE) - electrical potential across a selective membrane is dependent on the activity of a specific analyte ion. Reference electrode – electrode that maintains a constant potential … against which another half cell can be measured e.g. Ag-AgCl electrode
Analytical Response for Fluoride Ion-Selective Electrode Ecell = EF- - Eref Eref is a constant Response = Nernst eqn E = const - (0.0592V/z) log AF AF = activity of F- (Sec. 8.2) E = const - 0.0592V log AF If ionic strength is constant, concentration is proportional to conc E = const - 0.0592V log [F-]
Fluoride Electrode and Solution Conditions (Text: p317) Issues: electrode responds to F- (not HF) OH- is a significant interference response is affected by ionic strength of sample Solution: TISAB to control solution conditions (a) Control pH HF + H2O F- + H3O+ Ka = 7 × 10-4 so... pH must not get too low (Sec 10-5, page 195) OH- interferes, so… pH cannot be too high Solutions buffered at pH = 5 (acetate buffer) (b) Some metal ions (e.g., Cu2+, Fe3+) form fluoride complexes Cu2+ + F- CuF+ - citrate added to complex metal ions
Fluoride Electrode and Solution Conditions (Text: p317) (c) Ionic strength of the standards and samples must be the same and constant Solution: prepare standards and samples in TISAB TISAB (Total Ionic Strength Adjustment Buffer) - contains: 1 M sodium chloride 1 M sodium acetate to pH 5 with acetic acid 1 x 10-3 M sodium citrate.
