glass electrode

[¦glas i′lek‚trōd] (physical chemistry) An electrode or half cell in which potential measurements are made through a glass membrane, which acts as a cation-exchange membrane; thus, the potential arises from phase-boundary and diffusion potentials which, depending on the composition of the glass, are logarithmic functions of the activity of the cations such as H⁺, Na⁺, or K⁺of the solutions in which the electrode is immersed.

glass electrode

glass e·lec·trode

a thin-walled glass bulb containing a standard buffer solution, quinhydrone, and a platinum wire; when immersed in an unknown solution, a potential difference develops that varies with the pH of the unknown solution; this difference can be made to give the pH; used in pH meters.

glass electrode

In chemistry, a chemical sensor that uses a glass membrane as the sensing surface, as opposed to one that uses an organic or solid-state membrane. The glass contains materials in its structure that are sensitive to a material that is to be measured. In the case of a pH glass electrode, lithium ions are commonly used See also: electrode
