Hi everyone,

I would like to know if there is any correlation between pH (measure of acidity or alkalinity) value and impedance?

Other than that I would like to know if there is any relation to the conductivity too.

Thanks to any kind soul who could answer my question and if possible recommendation of books/journal on this topic.
 

The conductivity of a solution depends on the concentration of dissolved ions (and their charge and mobility). pH is the concentration of dissolved hydrogen + ions. So just knowing the pH of a solution is not enough information to make any statements about the conductivity. A strong base has very few hydrogen ions but is still highly conductive due to other ions.
 

I have tried using a sensor and test on a few solution with different pH value and it seems that it does not have any significant change. I have assume that the sensor is not sensitive to the conductivity.

I tried to do an impedance test on those different solution and it could be seen that that is significant change and I would like to know why and the relation of impedance and pH value.

If I want to test for a given sensor to be only sensitive to impedance, is there other thing I have to test for (e.g conductivity and etc)?
 

pH value and Impedance

Hi everyone,

Additionally, I would like to know if there is any equation that "bines" the relationship of pH (level of acidic and alkaline) value and impedance?

Thank you in advance.

The most sensitive test of the PH is conductivity, the better an insulator the liquid is , the lower the number of free ions are present. We used to test de-ionised water to a level of better then 2 micro-mhos for use in a heat exchanger system (boiling away at a power density of 1 KW/sq cm) , any thing higher caused corrosion due to the water's chemical action due to the free ions.
