Experimental Details for Conductometric Titration

Experimental Details for Conductometric Titrations
:
After measuring the solution to be titrated into beaker.it is diluted with distilled water to at least 100 ml and the stirrer set in motion,The titrating agent should be placed in micro-burrete,the reagent is added in small portions, the solution is stirred or shaken after each addition.The conductivity is measured after the well –mixed solution has been allowed to stand for a minute or two.The addition of the titrating reagent is continued until at least five readings beyond the equivalence point have been made.It is often advisably to carry out a preliminary titration:this will provide information as to the increments of the reagent best suited for titration.The conductance is plotted as ordinates against the volume of the titrating reagent as abscissae:the two straight portions of the curve are extrapolated until they intersect and the point of intersection is taken as the equivalence point of the reaction.

Redox Reactions and Electrochemistry Cell:

Redox Reactions involve the transfer of electrons from a reducing agent to an oxidation agent.Using separate compartments,such a reaction can be used to generate electrons that flow externally in an arrangement called an electrochemical cell or galavanic cell.
