Answer:
A potentiometric pH meter is used to measure the pH of a solution.
Explanation:
A pH meter is an common instrument that is used to measure the hydrogen-ion concentration in aqueous solutions , the meter indicates its acidity or alkalinity and is expressed as pH.
The pH meter measures the difference in electrical potential between a pH electrode and a reference electrode, hence the pH meter is often called a potentiometric pH meter. The difference in electrical potential is related to the pH of the solution.
Potentiometric pH meters consists of a simple electronic amplifier and a pair of electrodes, alternatively it may consist of a combination electrode, and some form of display calibrated in pH units. It usually has a glass electrode and a reference electrode, or a combination electrode. The electrodes, or probes, are inserted into the solution to be tested and pH values are read off.
