Electrochemical Methods of Analysis
Electrochemical methods involve the study of chemical systems using electrical measurements. These techniques are useful for the analysis of electrolytes, ionic drugs, and substances that participate in redox reactions. Compared to classical methods, electrochemical techniques offer higher accuracy, rapid analysis, and minimal sample preparation. They are commonly used in assay, purity testing, and stability studies of pharmaceutical products.
Conductometry
Conductometry is an electrochemical technique that measures the electrical conductivity of a solution. Conductivity depends on the number of ions present and their mobility in the solution. As a chemical reaction progresses, the ionic concentration changes, resulting in a change in conductivity.
Potentiometry
Potentiometry is based on the measurement of electrode potential without drawing significant current from the system. The potential difference between a reference electrode and an indicator electrode is measured to determine the concentration of an analyte.
