title: The application of deuterium-palladium electrodes in the coulometric-potentiometric determination of bases in ketone media.
abstract: The application of deuterium-palladium electrodes as generator, indicator and reference electrodes for the determination of organic bases in acetone and methyl ethyl ketone has been investigated. Deuterium dissolved in palladium is oxidized at a potential that is close to the oxidation potential of hydrogen in palladium and more negative than the oxidation potentials of the bases titrated, indicator, and the solvents used. The anodic oxidation of deuterium dissolved in palladium proceeds with 100% current efficiency in the solvents investigated. The relative errors for the determination of 5 x 10(-4)M solutions of bases are less than 1%.
