default Lab Equipment: pH measurement with paper and meters [Part 1]

In this video we briefly discuss ways of measuring pH using pH paper and a meter. Omega engineering sells a variety of pH meters and related equipment and will also sell to individuals: www.omega.com The Canadian site www.omega.ca

@martha2ful That sounds sketchy…

Urgh. Calibration.

@ZyGaming man, it’s a 99% boring one(this vid). but it’s great to watch

INYO121277 March 14, 2012 at 3:14 PM

hey a joke :
how to defferentiate acid pH from alkalic ones
drink it.
if tastes sour, that’s its acid, if tastes bitter : alakalic
put your finger in it
burns : low pH
sticky : high pH

liabilities : death, scar, and a trip to hospital

@NurdRage
I came here from your fluorescence thermochromism video (which was totally awesome btw) cause you said it would probably bore us out of our minds…in fact I find this most informative…i’m not sure what I would actually put this into practice with but still…none the less…very informative…I have measured PH before but only for watering specific plants and stuff that prefer certain PH levels…haha…

@46564364 the glass electrode probably died, get a new one.

Hey Nurdrage, I own a pH meter, but yesterday I immersed it on a 60% nitric acid solution and it doesn’t read the pH anymore, what happened? Thank you.

i only understood the litmus paper part because we did this in science class earlier this year <3

Tumbs up if you understand nothing.

Anyways nice vis:P

@ericon52168 oh ok, thank you.

ericon52168 March 14, 2012 at 7:24 PM

@shawnchen018 most data was shown in 25degC

when it’s 20degC  ph7 will become ph7.01

there sohuld bve a list somewhere

tasneem323 March 14, 2012 at 8:09 PM

technically yes….. but safety and liability would be an issue

dukilaki March 14, 2012 at 9:08 PM

@NurdRage again you should be a teacher

jbohbot1 March 14, 2012 at 9:28 PM

can you tell us from witch seller you got this ph meter?

svtcontour March 14, 2012 at 10:24 PM

Great video!

shawnchen018 March 14, 2012 at 10:58 PM

wgy 7.01 recalabration?

lexichronicle2 March 14, 2012 at 11:37 PM

thanks, nurd. I have a meter that’ll read to 0.001, but I didn’t realize it needs storing in salt, so I’ll have to do that. one point you could make is that, if your probe won’t read correctly in different buffers, you can set it to the pH that’s closest to your pH of interest, and that way you’ll know you get the important reading more correct.

nosebleed

philiprockz March 15, 2012 at 12:35 AM

lol i am doind this cauase i have end of year exam tomorrow and i am revising cause the exam decides my GCSE groups i wanna get top group again i have been top twise. wish me luck

Are you a T. A. at UTM by any chance?

hhfleury March 15, 2012 at 12:43 AM

@NurdRage After finishing first year chemistry at U of T, I couldn’t agree more with that comment.

andersvj March 15, 2012 at 1:30 AM

@NurdRage I can’t belive you would say that it’s 99% boring. I like the experiments but the theory is very interesting aswell.
