Exploring Potentiometry: A Comprehensive Guide to Principle, History, Theory, Applications, and Limitations
A potentiometry is an analytical chemistry technique which is used to measure the difference between two cell electrodes that produce voltage. The active substance amounts in the solution depend on the degree of difference of the potential. Thus, the difference can be used for the determination of the concentration of the analyte in the solution. The approach incorporates the usage of electrodes and a cell with chemical reactions to find out analyte concentrations via the change of electrode potential. History The beginning of the potentiometry history is dated the end of the 19th century and encounters the creation of electrochemistry principles and tools that brought the possibility of its application. Here's a brief overview of the key milestones in the history of potentiometry: Here’s a brief overview of the key milestones in the history of potentiometry: Early Electrochemistry (Late 18th - Early 19th Century): In the late 18th century, Italian scientist Luigi Galvani ...
