What is set current and potential in volumetric Karl Fischer titration?
In volumetric Karl Fischer titration, set current is the electrical current applied to the cell. It influences the rate of the electrochemical reaction as the titrant reacts with water in the sample. A higher set current can speed up titration but risks overshooting the endpoint. Potential refers to the electrical voltage applied across the cell, affecting the efficiency of electron transfer; optimizing potential is crucial for achieving accurate results. Together, these parameters must be carefully balanced to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the titration process.
How does set current and potential influence titration time?
The Set current and Potential are critical parameters in volumetric Karl Fischer titration that directly influence the titration time required for accurate measurements. When the Set current is increased to 80 μA and the Potential is lowered to 50 mV, the titration process becomes more efficient. This combination facilitates faster electron transfer during the reaction, leading to quicker consumption of the titrant. As a result, the overall titration time is reduced, allowing for rapid analysis of moisture content in samples.
