Coulometric titration of acids in non-aqueous solvents

Coulometric titration of acids in non-aqueous solvents.

Coulometric titrations of mineral acids, sulphonic acids, carboxylic acids, enols, imides and phenols have been carried out in t-butanol or in acetone with electrically generated tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. Either a potentiometric titration or a visual indicator end-point may be used. The amount of acid titrated ranges from 10 to 60 muequiv, and the precision and accuracy of the method are ex...

The Coulometric Titration of Acids and Bases in Dimethylsulfoxide Media

The coulometric titration of 20-200 peq of acids and bases in DMSO media is described. In the titration of bases, the electro-oxidation of hydrogen at a platinized platinum electrode is used as the source of protons. The conditions for 100 % current efficiency at this electrode are low current density to avoid passivity and regular treatment of the electrode with potassium dichromate-sulfuric a...

A Coulometric-Titration Coulometer

A highly precise coulometer is described which permits time integration of currents totaling 100 coulombs or more with a precision of about 1 part in 100,000. The current to be integrated oxidizes hydroquinone in an electrolysis cell, producing quinone and acid. The quinone is t hen reduced by constant-current coulometric titration, the end point being indicated by hydrogen-ion concentration me...
