Application of Conductometry:

We have discussed the theoretical and practical aspects of conductometry in detail. We have seen that the conducting ability of electrolytic solution provides a direct prove of the existence of ions in solution. The experimental determinations of the conducting properties of electrolytic solutions are very important as they can be used to study quantitative behaviour of ions in solution. They can also be used to determine the many physical quantities such as degree of dissociation and dissociation constants of weak acids and bases, solubility ionic product of water, and solubility products of sparingly soluble salts and to form the basis for conductometric titration methods. We will take up all these in more detail one by one.
