CONDUCTOMETRY- ARTICLE REVIEW

Conductometry is based on the principle of determination of change in conductivity that is the movement of  cations towards the cathode and the movement of anions towards the anode.The electric conductance in  accordance with Ohms law which states that the strength of current I passing through the conductor is directly  proportional to potential difference and inversly to resistance. The movement of the ions mainly depends on  the concentration of the ions.It is a method of quantitative analysis used to identify the concentration of a given  analyte in a mixture Conductometric titration(ALPHA -06) involves the continuous addition of a reactant to a reaction mixture.The electrolytic conductivity is associated with the changing concentrations of the two most  highly conducting ions-the hydrogen and hydroxyl ions.Conductometry is used to analyze ionic species and  monitor a chemical reaction by studying the electrolytic conductivity of the reacting species. It is suitable for  coloured solutions. It is used to check the alkalinity of the fresh water, to check water pollution in lakes and  rivers ,to determine the purity of solution. The End point was determined accurately and errors were minimized  as the end point was graphically determined,The temperature was maintained constant throughout the titration.
