Potentiometry is the method to find the concentration of solute in
A given solution by measuring the potential between two Electrodes
(reference and Indicator electrode) . Potentiometric titration involves
the measurement of the potential of the indicator electrode and
reference electrode.
In potentiometric titration reference and indicator electrodes are
immersed in the solution of particular analyte (titrand) and
potential of indicator electrode is measured with relation to
reference electrode.
Titrant is added in analyte (Titrand) and change in potential is noted
down.
At the end point there is sharp change in potential on indicator
electrode.
Graph is plotted between the indicator electrode potential and
volume of titrant added.
This method is used for determination of sharp end point.

Polarography is a voltammetric technique in which chemical species (ions or molecules) undergo oxidation (lose electrons) or reduction (gain electrons) at the surface of a dropping mercury electrode (DME) at an applied potential. Polarography only applies to the DME.
Objective of polarography
Polarography is an electroanalytical technique that measures the current flowing between two electrodes in the solution (in the presence of gradually increasing applied voltage) to determine the concentration of solute and its nature respectively
Polarography is based upon the principle that gradually increasing voltage is applied between two electrodes, one of which is polarisable (dropping mercury electrode) and other is non-polarisable and current flowing between the two electrodes is recorded.
A sigmoid shape current-voltage curve is obtained from which half wave potential as well as diffusion current is calculated.
Diffusion current is used for determination of concentration of substance.
Half wave potential is characteristic of every element.
Ilkovic equation is a relation used in polarography relating the diffusion current (id) and the concentration of the non-polarisable electrode, i.e., the substance reduced or oxidised at the dropping mercury electrode (polarisable electrode).
Definitions of types of currents
1. Residual current (ir), 2. Migration current (im): , 3. Diffusion current (id) 4.Half wave potential 5. Limiting current (il)
Dropping mercury electrode- Dropping mercury electrode (DME) is a polarisable electrode and can act as both anode and cathode.
The pool of mercury acts as counter electrode,
i.e., anode if DME is cathode or
cathode if DME is anode.
The counter electrode is a non-polarisable electrode.
To the analyte solution, electrolyte like KCl is added i.e., 50-100 times of sample concentration.
Pure nitrogen or hydrogen gas is bubbled through the solution, to expel (remove) out oxygen.
Eg: If the analyte solution contains cadmium ions, then cadmium ions are discharged at cathode (-)
Cd2+ + 2e- → Cd
Then, gradually increasing voltage is applied to the polarographic cell and current is recorded.
Graph is plotted between voltage applied and current. This graph is called Polarograph and the apparatus is known as Polarogram.
The diffusion current produced is directly proportional to concentration of analyte and this is used in quantitative analysis.
The half wave potential is characteristic of every compound and this is used in qualitative analysis.

Conductometry:
is the simplest of the electroanalytical techniques; by Kolthoff in 1929.
Conductors are:
either metallic (flow of electrons) or electrolytic (movemenmt of ions).
Conductance of electricity:
migration of positively charged ions towards the cathode and negatively charged ones towards the anode
(i.e.) current is carried by all ions present in solution.
Conductance depends on the number of ions in solun.
Factors affecting conductance:
1- Temperature:
(1C increase in temperature causes 2 % increase in conductance).
2- Nature of ions
Size, molecular weight and number of charges.
3- Concentration of ions:
As the number of ions increases, the conductance increases.
4- Size of electrodes
Conductance is directly proportional to the cross sectional area (A).
Conductometry is used to analyze ionic species and to monitor a chemical reaction by studying the electrolytic conductivity of the reacting species or the resultant products.
ESTIMATION OF THE RATE OF REACTION WILL BE DONE BASED ON THE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REFERENCE AND INDICATOR ELECTRODE. THE POTENTIAL OF THE REFERENCE ELECTRODE IS STABLE WHERE AS THE POTENTIAL OF THE INDICATOR ELECTRODE VARIES WITH THE POTENTIAL OF THE SOLUTION IN WHICH IT IS PLACED

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. 3Introduction
Determination of conductance of an electrolyte solution by
conductometer is called as Conductometry.
Instrument used for to measure conductance of solution is
known as conductometer.
What is conductivity/conductance……………?
Conductivity is the ability of a solution, a metal or a gas to
pass an electric current.
In solutions the current is carried by cations and anions
whereas in metals it is carried by electrons.
4. 4How is conductivity measured…………?
Conductivity may be measured by applying an alternating
electrical current (I) to two electrodes deep in a solution.
Measuring the resulting voltage (V). During this process.
The cations travel to the negative electrode,
The anions travel to the positive electrode and the solution acts
as an electrical conductor.
5. 5What is conductivity of solution ----------?
Conductivity is typically measured in aqueous solutions of
electrolytes.
Electrolytes are substances containing ions, i.e. solutions of
ionic salts or of compounds that ionise in solution.
The ions formed in solution are responsible for carrying the
electric current.
Electrolytes include acids, bases and salts and can be either
strong or weak.
Strong electrolytes are substances that are fully ionised in
solution.
Weak electrolytes are substances that are not fully ionised in
solution.
6. 6Instrumentation
For determination of conductance of electrolyte solution
conductivity cell and conductometer are required.
1. Conductivity cell -
It is Made of Pyrex or quartz and are fitted with two platinum
electrodes.
It Should be placed in vessel containing water to maintain
constant temperature.
Types of Conductivity cell :
1. Wide mouthed cell
2. Cell for reactions producing precipitation
3. Dip type cells
7. 71. Wide mouthed cell
It is wide mouth bottle with bark cork having holes for passing
two platinum wires of 1 sq. cm. size is used.
It is used for Low conductance measurement .
2. Cell for reactions producing precipitation
In that electrodes are tightly set in the perpex lid which is
provided with opening for the stirrer and tip of the burette.
Magnetic stirrer is used for stirring the solution.
It is used for precipitating type of conductance
8. 8
3. Dip type cells
In this a wide bore glass tube of corning glass are fixed copper
wire.
The tipe of which have two platinum plates of 1sq. cm in a size
fixed at 1 cm. the terminal of copper wire are taken out for
connections.
The position of wire is fixed in glass tube by rosin
9. 9
2. Conductometer :
The conductance measurements are
made by using conductivity bridge.
The conductometers are made
using wheatstone bridge circuit.
In this cell is placed in one arm of
the wheatstone bridge circuit ab and
resistance R1 composed the arm ac.
D stands for detector is either
galvanometer, earphone.
A source of alternating current (V)
with a frequency of 50-60 Hz is
used in the circuit by connecting b
and c.
10. 10Conductometric titrations
Conductometric titration is a laboratory method of quantitative
analysis used to identify the concentration of a given analyte in a
mixture.
Principle -
During a titration process, one ion is replaced with another and the
difference in the ionic conductivities of these ions directly impacts
the overall electrolytic conductivity of the solution.
It can also be observed that the ionic conductance values vary
between cations and anions.
Finally, the conductivity is also dependant upon the occurrence of
a chemical reaction in the electrolytic solution.
11. 11
Types of Conductometric titration……
1. Acid – Base OR Neutral Titration :
a) Strong acid –Strong base
Example: HCL vs NaOH
b) Strong acid – Weak base
Example : HCL vs NH4OH
c) Weak acid –Strong base
Example : CH3COOH vs NaOH
d) Weak acid –Weak Base
Example : CH3COOH vs NH4OH
2. Precipitation titrations.
12. 12
1. STRONG ACID- STRONG BASE
Fall in conductance due to replacement of high conductivity
hydrogen ions by poor conductivity of sodium ions.
Rise in conductance due to increase in hydroxyl ions.
13. 13
2. Strong acid- weak base :
Fall in conductance due to replacement of hydrogen by
ammonium ions .
Conductance remain constant due to supression of NH40H
by NH4CL.
14. 14
3.Weak acid –Strong base:
Initial decrease in conductance followed by increase
due to NaOH
Steep rise due to excess of NaOH
15. 15
4. Weak acid- weak base:
Increase in conductance due to excess of CH3COOH
Constant conductance due to supression of NH4OH by
CH3COOH
16. 16Precipitation titrations
A reaction may be made the basis of a conductometric
precipitation titration provided the reaction product is sparingly
soluble or is a stable complex.
The solubility of the precipitate (or the dissociation of the
complex) should be less than 5%.
The addition of ethanol is sometimes recommended to reduce
the solubility in the precipitations
17. 17
Advantages of Conductometric titrations
Does not require indicators since change in conductance is
measured by conductometer.
Suitable for coloured solutions.
Since end point is determined by graphically means accurate
results are obtained with minimum error.
Used for analysis of turbid suspensions, weak acids, weak bases,
mix of weak and strong acids.
Temperature is maintained constant throughout the titration.
This method can be used with much diluted solutions
18. 18
Dis-advantages of Conductometric titrations
Increased levels of salt in solutions masks the conductivity
changes in such cases it does not gives accurate results.
Applications of conductometric titrations to redox systems is
limited because, high concentration of hydronium ions in the
solutions tends to mask the change in conductance.
19. 19
Application of Conductometric titrations
1. Check water pollution in rivers and lakes
2. Alkalinity of fresh water
3. Salinity of sea water (oceanography)
4. Deuterium ion concentration in water- deuterium mixture
5. Food microbiology- for tracing micro organisms
6. Tracing antibiotics
7. Estimate ash content in sugar juices
8. Purity of distilled and de - ionised water can determined
9. Solubility of sparingly soluble salts like AgCl, BaSo4 can be
detected
10. Determination of atmospheric so2.
