Conductometric Titration: Measuring Analyte Concentration with High Accuracy
Conductometric titration is a type of titration that measures the amount of a substance (analyte) in a solution by measuring the change in electrical conductivity of the solution as the analyte is added or reacted with a second substance (titrant).
In this type of titration, the amount of analyte present in the solution affects the conductivity of the solution, and by measuring the change in conductivity, the amount of analyte can be determined. This method is particularly useful for measuring the amount of ions in a solution, such as sodium or potassium ions.
Conductometric titration is often used in applications such as water treatment, food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, where it is important to measure the concentration of certain substances in a solution with high accuracy and precision.
