Electrode Ion Measurements

AI Thread Summary

Fluoride ions can react with and etch glass, which is why plastic beakers and cups are preferred for preparing fluoride-containing solutions before measurements with fluoride ion selective electrodes. This choice helps prevent contamination and ensures accurate readings. Information on this topic can typically be found in analytical chemistry textbooks or specialized articles on ion-selective electrodes. Understanding the chemical interactions between fluoride and glass is crucial for proper laboratory practices. Using appropriate materials is essential for reliable fluoride measurements.

Does anyone know why we prepare F- containing solutions with plastic beakers and cups instead of the regular glass beakers before measuring the responses with F- ion selective electrode
Is it because F- in corrosive?

where can i find infomation on this?

Thanks a lot~

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
