Coulometry
Coulometry is an electrochemical analytical method that determines the concentration of an analyte by measuring the total electric charge (in coulombs) required to oxidize or reduce the analyte completely at an electrode. Developed by James J. Lingane in the 1940s, coulometry is highly accurate because it is based on fundamental constants (Faraday's law) and does not require external standards or calibration curves. This method is particularly valuable for trace analysis, water determination, and analysis of reactive species.
