Conductiometric titration

Conductometric titration is a type of titration in which the electrical conductivity of the reaction mixture is continuously monitored as one reactant is added. The equivalence point is the point at which the conductivity undergoes a sudden change. Marked increases or decrease in conductance are associated with the changing concentrations of the two most highly conducting ions—the hydrogen and hydroxyl ions.^[1] The method is used for titrating coloured solutions or homogeneous suspension (e.g.: wood pulp suspension^[2]), which cannot be used with normal indicators.
