Electroanalytical methods
• involve the measurement of either the electrical
current flowing between a pair of electrodes immersed
in the solution tested (voltammetric and
amperometric methods) or
• An electrical potential developed between a pair of
electrodes immersed in the solution tested
(potentiometric methods).
• In either case, the measured parameter (current or
potential) is proportional to the concentration of
analyte

Electro analytical chemistry
• Electro analytical chemistry encompasses a
group of quantitative analytical methods
that are based upon the electrical
properties of an analyte solution when it is
made part of an electrochemical cell.
• These methods make possible the
determination of a particular oxidation
state of an element.
11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 5
Advantages of electro analytical tech.
• Electrochemical measurements are specific for a
particular oxidation state of element, so determination
of con from a individual species from mixture is
possible.
• Instruments are relatively inexpensive as compare to
other
• They provide information about activates rather than
conc. of chemical specifies
• High degree of sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy.
• Concentration less than 10-10 moles can be determine
using these methods
• Automation is possible for these methods.
11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 6
Electro Chemical Methods
• pH metry & Potentiometry
• Conductometry
• Voltametry
• Polarography
• Amparometery
• Coulombmetry
Potentiometry Principle:
• The principle involved
in the Potentiometry
is when the pair of
electrodes is placed in
the sample solution it
shows the potential
difference by the
addition of the titrant
or by the change in
the concentration of
the ions

Electro chemical Cell
• A chemical cell is system in which chemical
energy is transferred in to electrical energy.
• Each cell is made up of 2 electrodes one
liberating e- is called oxidizing electrode
(anode) while the other absorb e- is called
reducing electrode (cathode)
11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 9
Types of electrochemical cells:
• There are two types of electrochemical cells:
1. Galvanic or Voltaic cell (ones that
spontaneously produce electrical energy) and
2. Electrolytic (ones that consume electrical
energy).

Electrodes used in Potentiometry
•Reference Electrodes: the electrode whose
potential is independent of nature and
composition of surrounding
•Indicator Electrodes: Electrode whose potential
depends on Con/ activity of one component in
solution.
• The reference electrode is the electrode which contains of
its own potential value and it is stable when dipped into
sample solution.
• The salt bridge is used to prevent the interference of the
analyte solution with that of reference solution.
• Here analyte solution is the solution whose potential is to
be measured.
• The indicator electrode is the electrode which responds to
change in the potential of analyte solution
• The electromotive force of the complete cell is given by the
following equation:
Ecell = Ereference + Eindicator + Ejunction
• where E reference is the electromotive force of the
reference electrode ,E indicator is electromotive force of
indicator electrode, E junction is the electromotive force at
the junction of the liquid.
11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 13
Theory:
• When the known potential electrode immersed in
the sample solution then the potential is given by
Nernst equation:
E= E0 +(0.592/n) log c
• Where E is the potential of the solution; E0 is the
standard electrode potential; n is the valency of
the ions; c is the concentration of the sample
solution;
• 0.592 is the value obtained from the RT/F; where
R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in
Kelvin, F is the faradays constant.
11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 14
Reference Electrodes
• The reference electrodes are classified into
two main classes they are as follows:
• Primary standard electrodes ex: Standard
hydrogen electrode
• Secondary standard electrodes ex: silver-silver
chloride electrode, saturated calomel
electrode

11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 16
Characteristics of Ideal Reference Electrode:
1. Reversible and follow Nernst equation
2. Potential should be constant with time
3. Should return to original potential after being subjected to
small currents
4. Little effect with temperature cycling
5. Should behave as ideal nonpolarized electrode
6. Made of some stable chemical species, is readily available
and usually simple to use.
7. Should be non-toxic if you are going to use it in a biological
system.
8. Should be rugged and portable if you are going to use it in the
field
11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 17
Standard Hydrogen reference electrode
• This is the reference half cell against which all others are
compared.
• It must be easy to construct, reversible and be highly
reproducible
• The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) meets these
specifications
• It consists of a piece of platinum coated with finely
divided platinum black to increase its specific area.
• It is immersed in aq acid solution and hydrogen is
bubbled
11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 18
The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE)
• The standard H2
electrode potential is
defined as the
potential that is
developed between
the H2 gas adsorbed on
the pt metal and H+ of
the solution when the
H2 gas at a pressure of
760 mm of Hg is in
equilibrium with H+ of
unit concentration
Limitations SHE
• It is rather difficult to regulate the pressure of the H2
gas to be at exactly 1atm throughout the experiment.
• If the solution contains any oxidizing agent, the H2
electrode cannot be used.
• Excess of H2 bubbling out carries little HCl with it and
hence the H+ concentration decreases. In such a
system, it is difficult to maintain the concentration of
HCl at 1M.
• Platinum foil gets easily poisoned by the impurities
present in the gas and HCl. In fact, the attainment of
equilibrium is ensured by trial and error.

Ag/AgCl
• Constructed of a silver wire, coated with silver chloride, in a
solution containing silver chloride
– Sometimes AgCl is in solution saturated with KCl
– Saturated KCl keeps the chloride activity constant and
helps keep the electrode stable

Electroanalytical methods • involve the measurement of either the electrical current flowing between a pair of electrodes immersed in the solution tested (voltammetric and amperometric methods) or • An electrical potential developed between a pair of electrodes immersed in the solution tested (potentiometric methods). • In either case, the measured parameter (current or potential) is proportional to the concentration of analyte 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 3
  • 4. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 4 Electro analytical chemistry • Electro analytical chemistry encompasses a group of quantitative analytical methods that are based upon the electrical properties of an analyte solution when it is made part of an electrochemical cell. • These methods make possible the determination of a particular oxidation state of an element.
  • 5. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 5 Advantages of electro analytical tech. • Electrochemical measurements are specific for a particular oxidation state of element, so determination of con from a individual species from mixture is possible. • Instruments are relatively inexpensive as compare to other • They provide information about activates rather than conc. of chemical specifies • High degree of sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy. • Concentration less than 10-10 moles can be determine using these methods • Automation is possible for these methods.
  • 6. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 6 Electro Chemical Methods • pH metry & Potentiometry • Conductometry • Voltametry • Polarography • Amparometery • Coulombmetry
  • 7. Potentiometry Principle: • The principle involved in the Potentiometry is when the pair of electrodes is placed in the sample solution it shows the potential difference by the addition of the titrant or by the change in the concentration of the ions 11/1/2018 7Deokate U.A.
  • 8. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 8 Electro chemical Cell • A chemical cell is system in which chemical energy is transferred in to electrical energy. • Each cell is made up of 2 electrodes one liberating e- is called oxidizing electrode (anode) while the other absorb e- is called reducing electrode (cathode)
  • 9. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 9 Types of electrochemical cells: • There are two types of electrochemical cells: 1. Galvanic or Voltaic cell (ones that spontaneously produce electrical energy) and 2. Electrolytic (ones that consume electrical energy).
  • 10. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 10 Galvanic cell
  • 11. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 11 An electrolytic cell
  • 12. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 12 Electrodes used in Potentiometry •Reference Electrodes: the electrode whose potential is independent of nature and composition of surrounding •Indicator Electrodes: Electrode whose potential depends on Con/ activity of one component in solution.
  • 13. • The reference electrode is the electrode which contains of its own potential value and it is stable when dipped into sample solution. • The salt bridge is used to prevent the interference of the analyte solution with that of reference solution. • Here analyte solution is the solution whose potential is to be measured. • The indicator electrode is the electrode which responds to change in the potential of analyte solution • The electromotive force of the complete cell is given by the following equation: Ecell = Ereference + Eindicator + Ejunction • where E reference is the electromotive force of the reference electrode ,E indicator is electromotive force of indicator electrode, E junction is the electromotive force at the junction of the liquid. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 13
  • 14. Theory: • When the known potential electrode immersed in the sample solution then the potential is given by Nernst equation: E= E0 +(0.592/n) log c • Where E is the potential of the solution; E0 is the standard electrode potential; n is the valency of the ions; c is the concentration of the sample solution; • 0.592 is the value obtained from the RT/F; where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, F is the faradays constant. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 14
  • 15. Reference Electrodes • The reference electrodes are classified into two main classes they are as follows: • Primary standard electrodes ex: Standard hydrogen electrode • Secondary standard electrodes ex: silver-silver chloride electrode, saturated calomel electrode 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 15
  • 16. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 16 Characteristics of Ideal Reference Electrode: 1. Reversible and follow Nernst equation 2. Potential should be constant with time 3. Should return to original potential after being subjected to small currents 4. Little effect with temperature cycling 5. Should behave as ideal nonpolarized electrode 6. Made of some stable chemical species, is readily available and usually simple to use. 7. Should be non-toxic if you are going to use it in a biological system. 8. Should be rugged and portable if you are going to use it in the field
  • 17. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 17 Standard Hydrogen reference electrode • This is the reference half cell against which all others are compared. • It must be easy to construct, reversible and be highly reproducible • The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) meets these specifications • It consists of a piece of platinum coated with finely divided platinum black to increase its specific area. • It is immersed in aq acid solution and hydrogen is bubbled
  • 18. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 18 The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) • The standard H2 electrode potential is defined as the potential that is developed between the H2 gas adsorbed on the pt metal and H+ of the solution when the H2 gas at a pressure of 760 mm of Hg is in equilibrium with H+ of unit concentration
  • 19. Limitations SHE • It is rather difficult to regulate the pressure of the H2 gas to be at exactly 1atm throughout the experiment. • If the solution contains any oxidizing agent, the H2 electrode cannot be used. • Excess of H2 bubbling out carries little HCl with it and hence the H+ concentration decreases. In such a system, it is difficult to maintain the concentration of HCl at 1M. • Platinum foil gets easily poisoned by the impurities present in the gas and HCl. In fact, the attainment of equilibrium is ensured by trial and error. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 19
  • 20. 11/1/2018 Deokate U.A. 20 Ag/AgCl • Constructed of a silver wire, coated with silver chloride, in a solution containing silver chloride – Sometimes AgCl is in solution saturated with KCl – Saturated KCl keeps the chloride activity constant and helps keep the electrode stable log!tenbasewithlnreplaceweIF C25@0.05916 nF RT ][Clln nF RT EE S.H.E)to(relativemV197KCl)(sat.E S.H.E)to(relativemV222E ClAgeAgCl -o o (aq) - (s) - (s)    
