Conductometric titration of thiosulfate using new-type conductivity cells.
The conductometric titration of thiosulfate with silver ions using non-conventional conductivity cells is described. For this purpose conductivity cells with different cell constants and electrode constructions, equipped with silver, amalgamated silver, stainless-steel and polished platinum electrodes were used. Two well-resolved break-points were observed at 1:1 and 2:1 silver/thiosulfate stoichiometries. Accurate conductometric determinations can be made, using the second break-points of the titration curves as equivalence points, in the range of thiosulfate concentrations 10(-4)-10(-2) M. Reverse titrations are less accurate.
