Advantages and disadvantages of conductometric titration

Conductometric titration is used to determine the electrical conductivity of the solution. This process will calculate the concentration of the sample by adding titrant until reaching the endpoint. It is observed by measuring the conductance of the solution. Conductometric titrations are used in analytical chemistry to measure the progress of chemical reactions.
The advantages of conductometric titration are as follows.

• As compared with other titration methods, the endpoint of the conductometric titration is much faster and more precise.

• Very dilute solutions and weak acids can be used in this titration.

• It is used with solutions (turbid/colored) that endpoint cannot be seen with the naked eye.

• If there is no suitable indicator is available in titration, conductometric titration can be used.

• Conductometric titration gives a more accurate end-point.

• It is applied in the titration of the acid-base, precipitation, and redox.

The disadvantages of conductometric titration are as follows.

• It is not possible to measure high concentrations by this method.

• This is less accurate when total electrolyte concentrations are higher.

• A sample solution must be diluted for measurement.

• The salt levels can change the conductivity of the solution.
