5 Micro-Bites
Type A: Electroactive Analyte with Electroinactive Titrant:What does the current look like when the drug in your beaker reacts at the electrode, but the titrant you drip in from the burette does not? Consider the precipitation of lead ions...
Type B: Electroinactive Analyte with Electroactive Titrant:Now let us flip the scenario! What happens if the drug in your beaker is completely inactive at the electrode, but the titrant added from the burette is electroactive? Think of an ...
