Comments on the potentiometric titration of halides including fluoride with a mixed titrant

Journal Article · · Microchem. J.; (United States)

An attempt was made to verify work reported by others on the potentiometric titration of halides including fluoride with a mixed titrant of silver nitrate and thorium nitrate. The platinum indicator electrode can indeed be used to monitor the titration of bromide and chloride. However, the results reported for fluoride could not be verified. There seems to be no theoretical basis on which to expect the platinum electrode to respond to changes in fluoride ion concentration. (auth)
