2M Ammonium Sulphate Double Junction Electrode Filling Solution (Electrolyte)

The 2M Ammonium Sulphate (NH₄)₂SO₄ Double Junction Electrode Filling Solution must be used in the outer chamber of a double junction reference electrode for pH or ion measurement, in situations where Potassium Chloride or Potassium Nitrate should not be used. Chloride (Cl-) anions can form insoluble precipitates with Hg++, Cu++, Ag+ or Pb++ which will block the diaphragm of a single junction reference electrode. Potassium may react with anions such as perchlorate (ClO₄¯) to form Potassium Perchlorate (KClO₄). In these situations The 2M Ammonium Sulphate Double Junction Electrode Filling Solution is an ideal compromise.
- A good electrolyte must fulfil a number of conditions. The equitransference of the cation/anion combination should be as close as possible to being equimobile, have constant chloride activity, be of high electrical conductance and be as non-chemically reactive as possible. The 2M Ammonium Sulphate Double Junction Electrode Filling Solution is a high quality product that fulfils most of these criteria. However, as outlined above the use of Chloride or Potassium in the electrolyte is precluded for certain types of samples. In such instances The 2M Ammonium Sulphate Double Junction Electrode Filling Solution, is an ideal substitute.
