Abstract: | The I-E response of the liquid membrane of the calcium selective electrode is studied under constant or linearly varying current and voltage. An increase in the membrane resistance, recorded when an electrical current crosses the membrane, is due to the outflow of Cl? ions initially present in the membrane. When calcium ions are replaced by alkaline ions inside the membrane at constant current, the decrease of the membrane resistance due to an ion exchange is in agreement with the conductivity measurements (Part II). When the applied voltage is imposed besides the ion exchange one must take into account the interfacial overpotential to explain the important rectification effect observed. The interfacial transfer constant rate of alkaline ions seems greater than that of Ca2+ ion. |
