2. Defination:-
Conductometric titration is a laboratory technique of quantitative analysis used
to detect the concentration of a given analyte .
It involves the continuous addition of a reactant to a reaction mixture and the
corresponding change in the electrolytic conductivity of the reaction mixture.
It can be detected that the electrical conductivity of an electrolytic solution is
dependent on the number of free ions and the charge corresponding to each of
these ions in a solution.
6. Principle
During a titration process, one ion is replaced
with another and the difference in the ionic
conductivities in a solution of these ions
directly impacts the overall electrolytic
conductivity of the solution.
7. Why this method called conductometric method?
It is a type of titration in which the electrolytic
conductivity of the reaction mixture is detected as one
reactant is added. It is a conductometric method as, during
this process, the electrolytic conductivity change of the
reaction mixture is under considered.
9. APPLICATION OF CONDUCTROMETRIC
TRITRATION
Conductometric titrations are used to determine water purity.
It detects to check the levels of pollution present in different small water bodies
like lakes, ponds or rivers.
It can also be used to check the salinity of seawater and the alkalinity of
freshwater or freshwater bodies.This can also be used significantly in the food
industry, specifically by food microbiologists,for microorganism.
It can used in determining deionized and distilled water purity or freshness by
examining the equilibrium of chemicals in ionic reactions that is under examined
. Largely its usage is in pharmaceutical industries to detect many antibiotics and
to check the levels of basicity in various organic acids.
