Abstract

This thesis is an outgrowth of a desire to do precise analytical work with the use of an instrument that would be simple to operate and yet give reproducible results. It is based largely on a method of precipitation titration in those solutions where an internal indicator could not be used feasible because the concentration of the desirable ion was either to low, or the solution too turbid.

My choice of using the platinum microelectrode in these titrations was based on the fact that this electrode could be easily assembled, and take little effort to maintain. It also is advantageous because reported results with this type of electrode can easily be duplicated by some other investigator.

In this paper I hope to give a clear indication of the scope of amperometric titrations using the rotating platinum microelectrode, with special emphasis on the application to these titrations of common analysis in industry. The time element and the per cent of accuracy that can be obtained in this method are also thoroughly discussed.
