Which of the following is not the characteristic of a reference electrode?(a) It must have a known output potential(b) It must have a constant output potential(c) Its output potential is dependent on the composition of the solution(d) It is employed in conjunction with the indicator or working electrodeI had been asked this question in an interview for job.My doubt stems from Hydrogen and Glass Electrodes topic in section pH Meters and Ion Analysers of Analytical Instrumentation

Answer»

Right choice is (c) Its OUTPUT POTENTIAL is DEPENDENT on the composition of the solution

To ELABORATE: The output potential of a reference electrode MUST be insensitive to the composition of the solution.
