Verbesserte endpunktsbestimmung in der potentiometrischen analyse

If in a potentiometric titration each addition of reagent equals Δv and if the observed potential steps are, in decreasing order, Δ^E_m, Δ^E₁ and Δ^E₂, the ratio ρ_α = $\text{Δ}{}^{\mathrm{E}}{}_2\text{2Δ}{}^{\mathrm{E}}{}_1$is formed; ρ_αΔv is the difference between the equivalence point and the known volume of reagent next to it. Both an extraordinary increase in the precision and a valuable simplification of the analysis are obtained. For Q = $\text{Δ}{}^{\mathrm{E}}{}_{\mathrm{m}}\text{Δ}{}^{\mathrm{E}}{}_1$ < 2.5 or ρ_α < 0.25 this value is approximated; but in this case a new series with doubled intervals may be formed from the potential steps observed in which ρ_α is very near to 0.5, found hence absolutely accurate.
