APPLICATIONS OF POLAROGRAPHY

Most metal ions are reducible at DME, and multicomponent mixtures can often be
analysed by selecting an appropriate supporting electrolyte so that the half-wave
potentials of two ions are differed by about -0.2 V vs SCE or by using complexing
agents by taking the advantage of complexing ability of the metal ions.
Based on this, polarography is used predominantly for trace metal analysis of alloys,
ultra-pure metals, minerals/metallurgy, environmental analysis (air, water, soil and sea
water contaminants), foodstuffs, beverages and body-fluids, toxicology and clinical
analysis. Reducible anions such as BrO 3 , IO3-, Cr2O72- and NO2- can also be
determined using well buffered solutions.

It is also useful in the analysis of biological systems to determine vitamins, alkaloids,

hormones, terpenoid substances and natural colouring substance, analysis of drugs and
pharmaceutical preparations, determination of pesticide or herbicide residues in foods,
in the structure determination of many organic compounds etc.
Polarographic analysis of organic compounds
This technique is used in organic chemistry for qualitative and quantitative analysis
and structure determinations. Most of the organic compounds are insoluble in pure
aqueous medium and also in mercury to form amalgam. Therefore, the solvent in
which the organic compound and its electrode product is soluble is added to the
supporting electrolyte. These solvents include various alcohols or ketones, dimethyl
formamide, acetonitrile, ethylene diamine and others. The commonly used supporting
electrolytes which are easily mixed with organic solvents are various quaternary
ammonium salts such as tetrabutyl ammonium iodide.
Some of the organic functional groups that are reducible at DME are given in Table

APPLICATIONS OF AMPEROMETRIC TITRATIONS

Amperometric titrations have even wider range of applications than polarography

because even electro-inactive substances can be determined using electro-active
titrant.
According to Ilkovic equation id is proportional to concentration keeping all other
factors of the equation constant. So, if some of the electroactive material in the
solution is removed by interaction with some other reagent (e.g.: EDTA reagent for

69

Electroanalytical
Methods-III

Zn2+ determination) the diffusion current will decrease. This is the fundamental
principle of amperometric titrations or polarographic titrations.
The diffusion current at an appropriate applied voltage is measured as a function of the
volume of the titrating solution. The end point is the intersection of two lines giving
the change of current before and after the equivalence point.

POLAROGRAPHY EXPERIMENTS

Different practical experiments have been given below:

9.4.1 Determination of the nature of the ion (E1/2)

The half-wave potential of Tl+ solution.
Procedure: Take 10 ml of 0.5 mM solution of TlNO3 in 0.1 M KNO3 supporting
electrolyte and draw the polarogram. Determine E1/2 from the reduction wave of Tl+

solution

For the analytical determination use both the calibration curve method and standard
addition method.
i)

Applications of
Polarography,
Amperometric

Voltammetry

Wave height concentration plots (calibration):

Prepare stock solutions of Cd2+ ion by dissolving 1.0 g of Cd2+ per dm3. From
this take 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 cm3 into 100 cm3 volumetric flask, add 50 cm3 of
2M KCl solution and 2.5 cm3 of 0.2% gelatin solution to each flask and then
dilute to the mark with distilled water.
Take 10 cm3 of unknown solution (of about 0.04 g of Cd2+ per dm3) in a
volumetric flask, add 50 cm3 2M KCl and 2.5 cm3 of 0.2% gelatin solution and
dilute to the mark with distilled water. Record the polarograms of four standard
solutions and unknown after deaeration.
Draw calibration curve taking wave heights of all four standard solutions as
ordinates and concentrations as abscissa. From this the concentration
corresponding to wave height of unknown is noted.

ii)

Method of standard addition

Polarograms of unknown solution is first recorded as under (i) and a second
polarogram is recorded by adding a known amount of the same ion.

iii)

Second polarogram
Place 10 cm3 of unknown solution, 5 cm3 of known stock solution [of method
(i)], 50 cm3 of 2M KCl and 2.5 cm3 of 0.2% gelatin solution in a volumetric
flask and dilute to the mark with distilled water and record the polarogram of
this solution in a polarographic cell after removing dissolved oxygen with
nitrogen. Determine its wave height and calculate the concentration of unknown
solution as described under Unit 8 (polarography).

9.4.3

Determination of lead and copper in carbon steels

In the application of the polarographic method of analysis to steel, ferric ion interferes
due to its reduction near zero potential in sodium tartrate supporting electrolyte.
Fe(III) has to be reduced to Fe(II) with hydrazinium chloride in a hydrochloric acid
medium so that Fe(II) is reduced at much negative potential of -1.4 V vs SCE which is
more negative than lead and copper.
Procedure: Dissolve accurately weighed 5.0 g of the steel in a mixture of 25 cm3 of
water and 25 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid and heat gently. Add few drops of
standard potassium chlorate solution to dissolve carbides and boil the mixture until the
solution is clear. Cool and dilute to 50 ml with water in a volumetric flask. Pipette 2
ml of this solution into a polarographic cell and add 1.0 cm3 of 20% hydrazine
hydrochloric solution to reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II) ion, 1.0 cm3 of 0.2% methyl cellulose
to act as maximum suppressor and 5.5 cm3 of 2.0 M sodium formate solution. Keep
the cell in a nearly boiling water bath for 10 minutes in order to complete the
reduction. Cool and take the polarogram using SCE. The polarogram will have two
steps. The first one at E1/2 of - 0.25 V vs SCE is due to the reduction of cuprous to
copper metal. The second step at E1/2 of - 0.45 V vs SCE is due to lead. Use standard
addition method for determination. For this carry out a calibration by adding known
amounts of copper and lead ions to a solution of steel of low copper and lead content
and determine the increase in wave heights due to addition. Calculate the percentage
of copper and lead in the sample.

APPLICATIONS OF VOLTAMMETRY

All these techniques can be applied quantitatively for the analysis of large variety of
samples (environmental samples, steels, clinical samples etc). The choice of a
particular technique will depend on the analyte's characteristics, expected
concentration, other constituents present and location of the sample.
Pulse polarography is better for analyzing a wide range of inorganic/organic analytes.
While in the case of stripping methods the analyte is to be preconcentrated at the
electrode surface. Further the concentration of the analyte in the sample, the accuracy
and precision required will decide the technique to be selected.
The analysis of a sample component is quite simple and any of the methods can be
used and from the linear relationship between the current and concentration, the
unknown concentration in the sample can be obtained. In case of samples containing
more than one analyte; if the components behave independently, the analysis will be a
simple addition of the respective individual separation voltammograms. However if
the id or ip is sufficient they can be determined independently as if they were only a
single component.
The amount of separation between these potentials will depend on the type of the
potential, technique used, concentration of the components. If the difference is less
than minimum separation and there is overlap between the voltammograms of the two
components, independent analysis is not possible and a simultaneous analysis method
is to be followed by taking the sample and simultaneous equations for the current at
two potential be formed and by solving these equations, the concentrations of both the
analytes can be obtained.
The analysis has been explained in detail in the numericals given in the terminal
questions.

APPLICATION OF CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY

Coupled chemical Reactions

There are inorganic ions, metal complexes and a few organic compounds which
undergo electron transfer reactions without the making or breaking of covalent bonds.
The vast majority of electrochemical reactions involve an electron transfer step which
leads to a species which rapidly reacts with components of the medium via so called
coupled chemical reactions. One of the most useful aspects of CV is its applications to
the qualitative diagnosis of these homogeneous chemical reactions that are coupled to
the electrode surface provides the capability for generating a species during the
forward scan and then probing its fate with the reverse scan and subsequent cycles, all
in a matter of seconds or less.
In addition, the time scale of the experiment is adjustable over several order of
magnitude by changing the potential scan rate, enabling some assessment of the rates
of various reactions. There are several examples of the coupled chemical reactions,
however two are given below.
A cyclic voltammogram for the popular antibiotic chlor-amphenicol is illustrated in
Fig. 9.2. The scan was started in a negative direction from 0.0 V. Three peaks are
observed, peak A for the initial reduction, peak B for oxidation of a product of this
reduction and peak C for oxidation of a product resulting from the events accounting
for peak B. All three peaks or waves involve more than a simple electron transfer
reaction.

To assist in proving the diagnosis, authentic samples of the hydroxylamine and

nitroso derivative can be used to confirm the assignment of peak B and C.

Thyronine is an ether which may conveniently be thought of as representing the

combination of the amino of the amino acid tyrosine with hydroquinone.

Fig. 9.2: Cyclic voltammogram of 3.3 mg/25 cm3 chloramphenicol in 0.1 M acetate
buffer, pH 4.62. Carbon paste electrode. Scan rate = 350 mV/s

Its oxidative CV on a carbon paste electrode is illustrated in Fig. 9.3. In this case the
scan is initiated in a positive direction from 0.0 volts. The initial two-electron
oxidation (peak A) generates a proton and an organic cation which is readily
hydrolyzed to benzoquinone and tyrosine.
