Question 5 • Chemistry

Which of these is true about a pH meter?

Answer
A
It is inexpensive to use.
B
It measures pH indirectly.
C
It does not require calibration.
D
It can be used in any acid-base titration.

Explanation

A pH meter detects an electrical potential difference at its electrode and uses that signal to determine the solution’s pH, so it measures pH indirectly. It must be calibrated with buffer solutions, which makes D false. Although pH meters are useful in many titrations, they are not necessarily suitable for every acid-base titration.
