Metal ions e.g., Ag⁺, Ba⁺⁺, Ca⁺⁺ and Mg⁺⁺ present singly or in their mixture were estimated potentiometrically by an assembly of two membrane electrodes, one cationic and the other anionic. This method avoids the disturbance of reference electrodes due to adherence of precipitates on them, if a precipitation occurs during titration.
