a) Silicon rubber
b) Microporous Teflon membrane
c) Fluorocarbon
d) Polythene
View Answer
Explanation: Gas permeable membrane used for ammonia sensing electrode is fluorocarbon membrane. For each gas different membranes are used.
2. Which of the following gas permeable membrane is used for carbon dioxide gas sensing electrode?
a) Silicon rubber
b) PVC membrane
c) Fluorocarbon
d) Polythene
View Answer
Explanation: Gas permeable membrane used for carbon dioxide sensing electrode is silicon rubber membrane. For each gas different membranes are used.
3. The response time of the biocatalytic membrane electrode is poor when used with complex organic molecules.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The response time of the biocatalytic membrane electrode is good even when used with complex organic molecules. But, the membrane is costly.
4. Which of the following reference electrode is placed in the solution of carbon dioxide electrode?
a) Calomel electrode
b) Silver/silver chloride electrode
c) Mercury/mercury sulphate electrode
d) Glass electrode
View Answer
Explanation: A silver/silver chloride reference electrode is placed in the solution. A glass electrode is also placed in the solution but it is not a reference electrode.
5. Biocatalytic membrane electrode cannot be used for the measurement of which of the following gases?
a) Ammonia
b) Carbon dioxide
c) Hydrogen
d) Nitrogen
View Answer
Explanation: Biocatalytic membranes cannot be used for the measurement of nitrogen. It can be used for the measurement of other three gases.
6. The biocatalytic membrane used in the ammonia selective electrode is which of the following?
a) Urea
b) Urease
c) Acrylamide
d) Polyacrylamide
View Answer
Explanation: The biocatalytic membrane used in the ammonia selective electrode is urease. It is used for the detection of ammonia.
7. Which of the following materials are used as a gel to which biocatalytic membrane is fixed in ammonia selective electrode?
a) Urea
b) Urease
c) Acrylamide
d) Polyacrylamide
View Answer
Explanation: The material used as a gel to which biocatalytic membrane is fixed in ammonia selective electrode is acrylamide. This is attached to the ion selective electrode directly.
8. The biocatalytic membrane is attached to the glass electrode using which of the following materials?
a) Nylon mesh
b) Teflon
c) Silicon rubber
d) Polythene
View Answer
Explanation: The biocatalytic membrane is attached to the glass electrode using nylon mesh. Cellophane film can also be used.
9. The response time of the biocatalytic electrode is a function of the thickness of the enzyme layer.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The response time of the biocatalytic electrode is a function of the thickness of the enzyme layer. It is also a function of diffusion of the layer in the sample solution.
10. In carbon dioxide electrode, the membrane separates which of the following?
a) Sodium carbonate, magnesium chloride
b) Magnesium hydrogen carbonate, sodium chloride
c) Sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium chloride
d) Magnesium carbonate, magnesium chloride
View Answer
Explanation: In carbon dioxide electrode, the membrane separates sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium chloride. Sodium hydrogen carbonate is the internal electrolyte.
