Potentiometric Titration

Potentiometric titration is an electrochemical method of analysis that measures the potential difference between a reference electrode and an indicator electrode as a titrant is gradually added to a solution. Developed in the early 20th century, it allows precise determination of the concentration of analytes without requiring visual endpoint indicators. This method is fundamental in analytical chemistry for determining acids, bases, redox species, and metal ions.
