Question

An ammonium ion selective electrode exhibits interference from lithium ions with a selectivity coefficient of 0.2. If a 0.10 M solution of ammonium has an electrode potential of 0.125 V what is the expected potential in a solution containing both 0.1 M ammonium and 0.1 M lithium? Recall that the Nernst equation for a cation selective electrode with interferent is Ecell L002 Logho(a + Kb) where a and b are the activities(-concentrations) of the selective ion and interfering ion, respectively.
