Potentiometry1 for mpharm ist sem notes

The document summarizes potentiometry and potentiometric titrations. Potentiometry uses measurement of electrical potential to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis. The potential of a sample is directly proportional to the activity of electroactive ions present, such as pH. Potentiometric titrations involve direct measurement of electrode potential or changes in potential upon titrant addition to determine the endpoint. Common types include acid-base, redox, complexometric, and precipitation titrations. Choice of reference and indicator electrodes depends on the reaction taking place.
