A potentiometric titration locates the end point from the

  • A.sharp change in cell potential
  • B.colour change of an added indicator
  • C.minimum in the measured conductance
  • D.temperature rise of the reaction mixture

Answer: A

Correct answer: sharp change in cell potential

An indicator electrode responds to the activity of the species being titrated, and at the end point that activity changes by orders of magnitude within a fraction of a millilitre, so the measured potential jumps. The end point is taken at the steepest part of the curve, most precisely from the maximum of the first derivative. Like the conductometric method it needs no visual indicator.
