Abstract
This paper describes the construction and assessment of the operating characteristics and analytical usefulness of a homogeneous crystalline silver double membrane tubular electrode with increased sensitivity. The constructed electrodes allowed Ag(I) determinations in the $3\ 10^{-5}{-}1\ 10^{-1}$ M range with a calibration slope of 114 mV dec-1 and with good reproducibility (0.6 mV). The development and application of a flow injection analysis system manifold for chloride determinations in wine samples, in a wide concentration range ( 10 - 800 mg L-1), with a titrant consumption of 90 $\mu$g determination-1 is also described. The results obtained from the analysis of 12 wine samples showed good agreement between the proposed method and the refer-ence one, accomplishing 90 - 200 samples h-1
