Background information about the reference electrode
The purpose of the reference electrode is to provide a stable, fixed potential,
against which other potential differences can be measured.
The potential at the reference electrode is not altered by the sample
composition.
A fixed potential is maintained at the reference electrode by the following
equilibrium reactions:
AgCl
Ag
+
+ Cl
Ag
+
+ e
Ag
These reactions are possible because the electrode is made of an Ag rod coated
with AgCl to provide the Ag/Ag
+
equlibrium in a solution with constant Cl
concentration and to determine the reference potential.
The reference electrode is used in the measurement of pH and electrolyte
concentrations.
Contact with the sample is made via a membrane junction between the
reference electrode liquid chamber and the measuring chamber.
