What is acid error in potentiometric measurement

Accepted Answer

Acid error is caused by H+ and other cations in solution, which can interfere with the formation of the potential determining membrane on the surface of the electrode. The error can be minimized by using an inert electrolyte such as KNO3 and by choosing an electrode with a low sensitivity to H+ ions.
