Definition:

Amperometric titrationrefers to a class

oftitrationsin which theequivalence pointis determined
through measurement of theelectric currentproduced by
the titration reaction. It is a form of quantitative analysis.

Indicator microelectrode:
DME
Reference electrode: SCE

Applications of
Amperometric
titrations

 Wider range of applications than polarography

because even electro-inactive substances can be
determined using electro-active titrant.
Quantitative (end point)
Determination of water using KF reagent
(biamperometry)
Quantification of ions or mixture of ions.
