CSTesting pH?

2010-07-02 Thread Neville Munn

If I wanted to test pH of distilled water or my EIS/CS solutions do I need to 
use that 'buffer' solution or can I simply use a pH meter or paper strips...in, 
out, job done so to speak?

  It seems to me that if you do buffer a solution, you are using the 
paper/meter to test the PH altering effect of the buffer and would have to 
test the solution both before and after buffering it.

RE: CSTesting pH?

2010-07-02 Thread Neville Munn

Don't know if you've misunderstood the question Ode?

 

Most articles I read about pH testing there is mention of a buffer solution, 
not being chemistry minded, and my understanding in these matters is minimal 
{whilst I continue my search for relevant material} therefore I just wanted to 
know if a meter/paper could be used *as is* without the necessity for that 
buffer solution.

 

It seems to me that the reason buffer solutions are used is if one wishes to 
*change* the acidity or alkalinity of that solution which is being tested as a 
means of 'compensation'...I don't want to *change* or *compensate* for 
anything...just want to know if I can dip the paper/meter in the water and use 
that pH reading as a reference of pH of that solution.

 

Do you follow what I'm saying?

 

PH will be different at cessation of production to what it will be after 
suitable time frame has elapsed...to a point whereby I suppose the pH reaches a 
point of 'stabilization?'...Yes/No?  Not dissimilar to the silver solution time 
frame for stabilization.

This is why I asked if a buffer is *necessary*, I don't want to change 
anything, and I don't want to 'neutralise' anything, I just want to take a 
measurement *as is*.

 

I'm content now, knowing that a buffer is not a requirement if simply wanting 
to take a straight measurement of water or a solution.

 

Why do you add the reagent Harold?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but buffers are for the purpose of increasing or 
decreasing acidity/alkalinity as a compensatory measure to create a neutral pH 
are they not?  I don't wish to alter or neutralise anything, just get a reading 
of pH of the water/solution as it is from scratch.

RE: CSTesting pH?

2010-07-02 Thread M. G. Devour
Neville,

The chemical Harold is adding is not a buffer, but simply an 
*indicator* that changes color over a range of pH. It's a similar thing 
to the stuff that's soaked into litmus paper. It should *not* change 
the pH of the sample, if it's properly designed and made.

Buffers, as you say, are designed to adjust the pH to a particular 
value, and don't necessarily have anything to do with measuring the pH. 
The only way I can think they might is by measuring the amount needed 
to achieve that pH change you could possibly get some indication of the 
composition of the acid or alkaline chemistry of the sample. That's 
just a guess on my part, however. I don't have any experience with such 
systems.

Be well,

Mike D.
