Objectives
1. Electrochemical technique
2. Principle OR Basic Concept
3. Electrochemical cell
4. Electrochemical methods
• Potentiometry
• Voltammetry / Polarography
• Coulometry
• Conductometry
5. Applications
Electrochemical techniques:
Forms of coulometry:
i. controlled-potential __ a constant potential is applied to the electrochemical
cell.
ii. controlled-current __ a constant current pass through the electrochemical cell.
During the electrolysis, the total charge Q passing through the electrochemical cell
is proportional to the absolute amount of analyte:
According to Faraday law:
Q = nFNA
n is the number of electrons per mole of analyte,
F is Faraday’s constant (96487 C mol–1),
NA is the moles of analyte
Conductometry:
