Applications of Polarography, Amperometric Titrations:
You have learnt about the different electroanalytical methods like Polarography, Voltammetry and Amperometric titrations. In this unit (Unit 9), we will discuss the applications of the previously discussed electroanalytical methods.
In this unit we will start our discussion with the different applications of Polarography, followed by those of Amperometric titrations. A number of polarography experiments are then discussed. This is followed through the various applications of cyclic voltammetry.
Objectives
You should be able to various things after studying this unit:
- Describe the elements or compounds determined along with the help of polarography in different kinds of samples like food stuff, sea water, fuels etc.
- Describe the polarographic analysis of organic compounds,
- Provide examples of the species determined within the help of amperometric titrations for different titrations and electrodes,
- Explain different polarography experiments using both the calibration curve method and standard addition method,
- Describe other industrial important determinations for traces or minor constituents,
- Know the application of cyclic voltammetry.
