Explanation / Answer

Slope S = dE/dpH

a) is (125.3-(-74.3mV))/(4.015pH-7.400pH) = -58.966

b) the theoretical slope is -2.303RT/nF ..... The known value at 298 K is - 0.058966 V.... The value at 303K (30 degrees) is...... -0.058966 V x 303K / 298K = -0.05996 V = -59.96 mV

c) (58.966 mV/pH)/(59.96 mV/pH) = 0.983

d) pHx = pH + (Ex-E)/S (pH and E, any known pair, look also at a., same equation) = 7.400 - (36.0 + 74.3)/ 58.966 = 7.454 - 1.870 = 5.584
