Popis: A flow injection potentiometric procedure is proposed for the determination of acidity of several samples using an antimony/ antimony oxide electrode. The ΔE/pH curve in phosphate buffer solutions in the pH range from 1.58 to 12.00 showed a linear sub-Nernstian behavior with an operational slope S =-42.1mV/pHc and a conditional standard potential of 264.8mV. This flow potentiometric electrode responds linearly to low acidity variations of dilute acetic acid solutions from 3.16 to 100mM with a slope of 30.1mV/dec and analytical frequency of 23 results/h. Good reproducibility and an average standard deviation of ±0.5% was obtained. The application of this sensor for the determination of coke acidity and acetic acid in vinegar is reported.
