Abstract
The behaviour of cation selective glass electrodes in deuterium oxide has been investigated using cells with silver-silver chloride electrodes and without liquid junctions. The conditions necessary for precise and accurate measurements are described and the electrodes are shown to respond to sodium ion activities in deuterium oxide. A new set of activity coefficients for sodium chloride solutions in deuterium oxide based on these measurements is reported. The glass electrodes are shown to behave reproducibly when transferred between solutions in ordinary water and deuterium oxide and the measurements have been used to obtain a new value for free energy of transfer of sodium chloride.
