  2. Potentiometric surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometric_surface

    A potentiometric surface is the imaginary plane where a given reservoir of fluid will "equalize out to" if allowed to flow. A potentiometric surface is based on hydraulic principles. For example, two connected storage tanks with one full and one empty will gradually fill/drain to the same level. This is because of atmospheric pressure and gravity.

  3. Electroanalytical methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroanalytical_methods

    In fact, since the potentiometric measurement is a non-destructive measurement, assuming that the electrode is in equilibrium with the solution, we are measuring the solution's potential. Potentiometry usually uses indicator electrodes made selectively sensitive to the ion of interest, such as fluoride in fluoride selective electrodes , so that ...

  4. Aquifer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_test

    The Theis equation was created by Charles Vernon Theis (working for the US Geological Survey) in 1935, [1] from heat transfer literature (with the mathematical help of C.I. Lubin), for two-dimensional radial flow to a point sink in an infinite, homogeneous aquifer. It is simply

  5. pH meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_meter

    These membranes are up to 0.4 millimeters in thickness, thicker than original designs, so as to render the probes durable. The glass has silicate chemical functionality on its surface, which provides binding sites for alkali-metal ions and hydrogen ions from the solutions. This provides an ion-exchange capacity in the range of 10 −6 to 10 − ...

    Figure 2 gives an example; in this example, the two x-intercepts differ by about 0.2 mL but this is a small discrepancy, given the large equivalence volume (0.5% error). Similar equations can be written for the titration of a weak base by strong acid (Gran, 1952; Harris, 1998).

  7. Electrochemical stripping analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_stripping...

    Cathodic stripping voltammetry is a voltammetric method for quantitative determination of specific ionic species. [6] It is similar to the trace analysis method anodic stripping voltammetry, except that for the plating step, the potential is held at an oxidizing potential, and the oxidized species are stripped from the electrode by sweeping the potential negatively.

  8. Equipotential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipotential

    If a and b are any two points within or at the surface of a given conductor, and given there is no flow of charge being exchanged between the two points, then the potential difference is zero between the two points. Thus, an equipotential would contain both points a and b as they have the same potential. Extending this definition, an ...

  9. Nernst equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nernst_equation

    In electrochemistry, the Nernst equation is a chemical thermodynamical relationship that permits the calculation of the reduction potential of a reaction (half-cell or full cell reaction) from the standard electrode potential, absolute temperature, the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction, and activities (often approximated by concentrations) of the chemical species undergoing ...
