Pharmaceutical analysis- Conductometry

    ✯Conductometry✯ 

Conductometry is based on the principle of determination of change in conductivity.
Change in the conductance is due to replacement of ions with each other.
Ionic conductivity is different for different ions.

Conductance-; 

Flow of electricity through electrolyte solution Due to migration a ions by applying potential differences between two electrode.

Electrode -; 

a. Anode ( positively charge , attract anions negative ions)
b. Cathode ( negatively charge attract, cation i.e. + ve ions)

It is indicated by G.

                       G= 1/R

Specific conductance-;

• It is reciprocal of specific resistance.

               R ∝ l/ a
              R= ρ×l/a  ( If l= 1m & a= 1m²)---- eq- 1
               R= ρ→ specific resistance

Equivalence conductance-;

The conductance of 1gm equivalent solution is called equivalence conductance.

When , l = 1m , volume= 1m³ & 1gm equivalent solution is taken, then 
 
                   G= k = Aeq
                   Aeq = k× 1/ q   ( If 1gm equivalent solution)
                     Aeq = k

Molar conductance-;

It is conductance of 1M solution.

                       λm = k× 1/ Cm     ( if m= 1)
                        λm = k

1. Conductivity meter-;

     It contains→ Digital display
                         → Calibrator
                         → power switch

2. Conductivity cell-;

It is made up of by rex or quartz.
It is fitted with two electrodes.
     1. Anode 
     2. Cathode
Anode is +vely charge electrode it attract –ev ions.
– ve ions are called anions.
Cathode is – vely charge electrode it always attracts + ve ions.

3. Electrode-;

Electrode are made up of platinum.
Area & surface area of electrode are 1cm² & 1cm respectively.

Working-;

Titrate the titrand i.e. ( CHჳCOOH) weak acid with titrant i.e. NH4OH by drop by drop with the help of burette.
When titrant react with titrand salt formation takes place & ↑ the concentration of ions in solution.
Ions are generated and conductivity is produced by ions , which is recorded by digital conductivity meter.

Conductometric  titration;

Conductometric titration is a types of titration where electrolyte conductivity monitored continuously as one reactant is added .
Equivalence point is the point at which the conductivity under goes sudden change.

Types-;

1 . Strong acid Vs strong base-;
HCl used as strong acid.
NaOH used as strong base
HCl filled in Conductometric vessels.
NaOH filled in burette.

      HCl  +  NaOH    →   NaCl   +.  HշO


2. Strong acid Vs weak base-;

HCl as strong acid.
NH4OH as weak base.
•  HCl in conductometry vessels & NH4 in burette.


     HCl   +   NH4OH    →     NH4Cl + HշO
          NH4Cl   →   NH4 ๋    +   Cl¯
       NH4OH      →        NH4 ๋    +    OH¯

3. Weak acid Vs strong base-;

Weak acid is CHჳCOOH .
Strong base is NaOH .
• CHჳCOOH in conductometry vessels and NaOH is burette.
 
 CHჳCOOH  + NaOH.   →.   CHჳCOONa. + HշO

4. Weak acid Vs weak base-;

weak acid is CHჳCOOH .
•  weak base is NH4OH .
• CHჳCOOH filled in Conductometry vessels and NH4OH filled in burette.


CHჳCOOH + NH4OH  →   CHჳCOONH4 + HշO

           CHჳCOONH4  →   CHჳCOO¯ + NH4 ๋ 

         NH4OH      →       OH ¯ +  NH4 ๋


Application-;

Use the check water pollution.
Use in food microbiology for tracing micro- organism.
Use to check alkalimetry of fresh water.
Use to check salivity of sea water.
tracing antibiotics.
puring of distilled & di - ionised water.
Basicity of organic acid.
Solubility of sparingly soluble salts .
