Conductivity measurements
1. Electrodes
Two parallel platinized Pt. foil electrodes or Pt. black with
electrodeposited a porous Pt. film which increases the surface
area of the electrodes and further reduces faradaic polarization.
Acid-base titration
Precipitation titration
Replacement titration
Redox (oxidation-reduction) titration
Complexometric titration
Strong Acid with a Strong Base.
e.g. HCl with NaOH:
Before NaOH is added, the conductance is high due to the presence of highly mobile
hydrogen ions.
When the base is added, the conductance falls due to the replacement of hydrogen
ions by the added cations as H+ ions react with OH− ions to form undissociated water.
This decrease in the conductance continues till the equivalence point. At the
equivalence point, the solution contains only NaCl.
After the equivalence point, the conductance increases due to the large
conductivity of OH- ions
Weak Acid with a Strong Base,
e.g. acetic acid with NaOH:
