    Module 2: Conductometry & Potentiometry


    Session 1: Conductometric titrations.
    Applications of titrations for detection of end points.
    Principle AIAS

    Conductometric titration is the determination of end point of a titration


    by a conductometric measurement.
    As the number and mobility of ions changes, there is a change in the
    conductivity of the solution.
    At the end point there is a sharp change in the conductivity of a
    solution shown by the intersection of lines in a graph of conductivity
    Vs volume of titrant added.
    Dilution error AIAS

    Why do we get a curve and not a sharp V shape at


    the end point?
    Types of conductometric titrationsAIAS

    Acid-Base/Neutralization:
    Strong acid Vs Strong base Weak acid Vs strong base
    Types of conductometric titrationsAIAS
    Acid-Base/Neutralization:
    Strong acid Vs Weak base Weak acid Vs Weak base
    Types of conductometric titrationsAIAS
    Acid-Base/Neutralization:
    Mixture of acids (strong acid and weak acid) Vs strong base
    Types of conductometric titrationsAIAS

    Precipitation Redox titration


    (KCl vs AgNO3) (Fe2+ Vs Cr2O72-)
    Types of conductometric titrationsAIAS
    Complexometric titrations:
    Generally used for non-aqueous titrations

    Example:
    Titration of weak base vs perchloric acid in dioxan-formic acid
    Titration of weak organic acid in methanol vs tetra methyl
    ammonium hydroxide in methanol-benzene.
    Advantages of conductometric AIAS

    titrations
     Determination of specific conductivity not required
     Suitable for dilute or coloured solutions
     No indicators required
     Instrumental methods helps to get accurate results with
    minimum error
     Can be used for weak acids/ bases, turbid solutions, mixture
    of acids etc.
     Temperature need not be known as long as it is maintained
    constant throughout the experiment.
    AIAS

    Disadvantages of conductometric titrations


     Increased salt level may mask the conductivity
    changes
     Only specific redox titrations can be carried out
     Accuracy is low when the concentration of the
    electrolyte is high.
