Extract

1. The antimony oxide electrode has been applied in a simple form to measure the pH value of soils.

2. The pH values of representative Australian soils have been determined by means of the hydrogen, quinhydrone and antimony oxide electrodes and the results compared.

3. The limitations of the quinhydrone electrode have been investigated and their nature elucidated, special attention being paid to alkaline and manganiferous soils.
