In most pH measurements , a single glass electrode-reference electrode probe assembly is transferred between two solutions. E x is the measured potential of the solution tested and E s is the measured potential of a standard pH buffer solution. By definition the pH of a solution x is given by: pH x = pH s +( E x - E s )/k where pH s is the pH of the standard pH buffer solution, pH x the pH of the tested solution, E s and E x the corresponding potentials and k is a constant at a specific temperature. The instrument if it is properly c...
