Data on carbonate-selective film electrodes without internal liquid fi
lling are presented. The principal properties of solid contact electro
des (concentration range of sensitivity to carbonate function, selecti
vity to carbonate ion in the presence of other ions) are on the level
of those characteristics of analogous electrodes with liquid filling.
The carbonate electrodes presented are useful for the practical quanti
tative analysis of different forms of carbonic acid (CO32-, HCO3-).
