1 Chapter 24 Coulometry 1 Principles of electrolysis
Current-voltage relationship 1.1 Electrolysis at constant potential

2 Fig. 24-1c (p.698) Change in (a) current and (b) potential during deposition of Cu2+.

3 Eappl E – Eref = constant Fig (p.701) Apparatus for controlled-potential electrolysis.

4 2 Coulometric methods Faraday’s Law (relating the number of moles of the analyte nA to the charge

5 2.1 Controlled-potential coulometry
Can also be used for determination of organic compounds (if they can be reduced at mercury cathode whose potential is suitably controlled)

6 Fig. 24-6 (p.705) Schematic of a system for controlled-potential coulometry

7 2.2 Coulometric titration – controlled current coulometry
Notes: 1. current efficiency = 100% 2. need a end-point detection (color changes, potentiometric, photometric measurement) Karl Fisher determination of water 2I-  I2 + 2e- I2 + SO2 + 2H2O 2 HI + H2SO4 2HI + H2O + SO2 + 3C5H5N  2(C5H5N+H)I- + C5H5N.SO3 C5H5N.SO3 + CH3OH  (C5H5N+H)O.SO2.OCH3
