Scientists measure the pH of a liquid using pH electrode. This is created of a special material that can sense the numbers of hydrogen ions in the liquid. Hydrogen ions are small pieces that can alter the acidity or baseness of a liquid. If there are a lot of hydrogen ions, the liquid is acidic, and it might taste sour like lemon juice. If there are few hydrogen ions, it’s basic liquid, which might taste bitter like soap.
Unlike the other pH electrodes which have curved bottom, flat bottom pH electrode does have a flat bottom. You may consider this unnecessary, but it makes a huge difference! The shape of the contact pad is shallow, which makes it easier for the electrode to make contact with the liquid being tested. Thus, it can detect the pH level more accurately.
A flat bottom of the electrode allows it to be placed evenly at the bottom of a container. This allows for a more accurate measurement of the liquid by the electrode. With a rounded bottom, it might not even touch the liquid much at all, thus producing inaccurate results. This is why the flat bottom design helps to produce the most accurate pH reading.
When measuring the pH of delicate liquids, flat bottom electrodes come in handy as they don't disturb the liquid much. Sensitive liquids are typically present in important sectors such as pharmacology and food. These liquids must be measured with great precision to be safe for human use. The flat bottom of the electrode, which is in contact with the measurement solution, prevents contamination. This matters because if the electrode touches the sides of the container, it might pick up tiny bits of dirt or other material that could alter the reading.
The other thing about flat bottom pH electrodes is that they allow for small amounts of liquid. This is very useful for scientists who might only have a small sample to test. At low volume, this flat bottom allows the electrode to easily reach the liquids, even if there is only a small amount of liquid available. That means that scientists will still be able to glean useful data from their experiments even if their supply of liquid is limited.
The advent of flat bottom pH electrodes has transformed pH measurement in a wide range of the fields. These electrodes have more accurate readings than older, curved-bottom electrodes. One of the most important aspects of an accurate pH measure helps scientists to assess to take quality decisions according to pH value they have received. They can tell whether a certain liquid is safe to consume, or whether a chemical reaction is occurring as it should.
