Microcomputer-Controlled Instrumentation for Analytical Conductance Measurements Using the Bipolar-Pulse Technique

Abstract

dc:description

The measurement of solution conductance can provide useful information for a wide variety of chemical systems. One method of making rapid and accurate conductance methods is by using the bipolar pulse technique. In this method, two square-wave voltage (or current) pulses, which have opposite polarity but equal duration and magnitude, are applied to the conductance cell. The resulting current (or voltage) may be instantaneously sampled at the end of the second pulse, or may be rectified and integrated. The theoretical errors inherent in this technique are described, and constraints on the use of bipolar pulse techniques are developed.
