2. Activities and concentrations
Thermodynamics shows that the potential adopted by an indicator electrode in a potentiometric chain is related to the activity a i of the ion i to which the electrode responds. Activity, a thermodynamic quantity, is related to concentration, an experimental quantity, via the activity coefficient γ i by the relationship :
