Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A voltage of 61.5 mV is developed for every pH unit difference between the sample and the measuring electrode, which remains 6.84. Therefore, the voltage difference is 18.7 mV divided by 61.5 mV, or 0.30. The resultant pH can be calculated as 6.84 + 0.30 = 7.14.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A voltage of 61.5 mV is developed for every pH unit difference between the sample and the measuring electrode, which remains 6.84. Therefore, the voltage difference is 44.90 mV divided by 61.5 mV, or 0.73. The resultant pH can be calculated as 6.84 + 0.73 = 7.57.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
