Liquid junction potentials at mixed electrolyte salt bridges

- Finkelstein, Noel Phillip

  • Authors: Finkelstein, Noel Phillip
  • Date: 1957
  • Subjects: Hydrogen-ion concentration -- Measurement , Hydrogen-ion concentration , Electrochemistry
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MSc
  • Identifier: vital:4473 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1011835 , Hydrogen-ion concentration -- Measurement , Hydrogen-ion concentration , Electrochemistry
  • Description: The potentiometric method is one of the most exact techniques of electrochemistry. Its use is widespread in both routine measurements, such as pH determination, and in applications which demand the highest accuracy. Perhaps its severest limitation is the error due to liquid junction potentials. Although this has been the subject of much study, and although various means of combating it have been proposed, it has defied all attempts at a satisfactory solution. Indeed, so serious is the position that it has become the accepted practice in the more accurate fields to abandon altogether the use of potentiometric techniques in favour of others, usually less convenient and otherwise less accurate, when the presence of liquid junctions cannot be avoided.

List of the fishes of the Family Labridae in the Western Indian Ocean, with new records and five new species

- Smith, J.L.B. (James Leonard Brierley), 1897-1968

  • Authors: Smith, J.L.B. (James Leonard Brierley), 1897-1968
  • Date: 1957
  • Subjects: Wrasses -- Indian Ocean

  • Description: Labrid fishes are primarily shore dwelling in tropical seas, few penetrating to cooler waters. An interesting distributional picture in the case of these fishes is observed along the coast of East and South Africa, for not only does the shore line stretch across the equator, but the warm and powerful westward current of the Indian Ocean divides south of the equator, one branch flowing north, the other, the powerful Mozambique current, southwards. As a result Labrid (and other) fishes, which in most parts are confined to a fairly narrow equatorial belt, are here spread out over an abnormally extensive area, many indeed living in surprising latitudes, e.g. the young of Thalassoma purpurem Forskal, have been found at 34°S x 24°E. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)
