Abstract
The silver selenide electrode has been prepared and its properties as an indicating electrode for silver ion have been investigated. Epoxy resin was used as a filler of silver selenide electrode. Silver metal plate was directly connected with the membrane of the electrode and the silver paste was used as its binder. The sintered electrode was more sensitive and stable than the pressed electrode, and the silver selenide electrode more sensitive than the silver sulfide electrode to silver ion. The linear relationship between the electrode potential and logarithmic concentration of silver ion has been observed down to 10-6 M for the electrode. Several heavy metal ions except mercuric ion did not interfere this linearity, but halide, cyanide, and thiocyanate ions did intensively interfere owing to the formation of silver compounds and complexes. This electrode has been applied to the potentiometric titration for determining halide ion. It is concluded that interferences from ,$CN^-, SCN^-, S^-, I^-, Br^-, Cl^- and Hg^{2+}$ ions are detrimental to the practical use of the electrodes for measuring pAg.
$Ag_2Se$ 전극을 제조하고 은이온에 대한 지시전극으로서의 성질을 조사하였다. Epoxy 수지를 Ag_2Se 전극의 binder로서, Silver paste를 감응막과 은판의 접착제로서 사용하였다. 감응막은 10ton/$cm^2$로 가압성형 한다음 질소분위기에서 200${\sim}$$500^{\circ}C$로 sintering한 후 전극을 제조한 결과sintering 하지않은 전극보다 감응성이 우수하고 견고하였다. 또한 $Ag_2Se$전극보다 감응성이 우수하였다. 은이온농도의 변화에 따르는 감응도는 10-6M까지 직선관계를 유지하였다. 대부분의 중금속 이온은 방해하지 않으나 수은(II) 이온이 크게 방해를 하였으며 음이온인 halide, cyanide, thiocyanate 이온의 방해는 더욱 심하였다. 반면 이전극은 halide 이온 정량시 전위차적정법으로 사용할 수 있음을 알았다.
