Conductometry is an analytical technique that measures the electrical conductivity of a solution to monitor the progress of a chemical reaction or determine the concentration of ionic species. It is particularly useful for reactions involving ionic compounds, such as acid-base titrations, where changes in conductivity can indicate the endpoint of the reaction.

Conductometry

analytical technique

Electrical conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to allow the flow of an electric current, which is determined by the availability and mobility of charge carriers such as electrons or ions. It is a critical property in determining the suitability of materials for applications in electronics, energy transmission, and electrochemical processes.

electrical conductivity

A chemical reaction is a process where substances, known as reactants, are transformed into different substances, called products, through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds. This transformation involves changes in energy and is governed by the principles of conservation of mass and energy.

concentration of ionic species

Ionic compounds are formed when metals transfer electrons to non-metals, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions that are held together by strong electrostatic forces. These compounds typically have high melting and boiling points and conduct electricity when dissolved in water or molten due to the mobility of ions.
