Abstract:
The application of direct current differential electrolytic potentiometry to an aqueous titration of L-cysteine hydrochloride, captopril and D-penicillamine has been investigated. The basic character of thiol compounds in nitric acid is enhanced to permit their direct titrations with silver nitrate. A pair of silver amalgam electrodes was used as an indicating system. Titration curve shapes obtained are almost symmetrical with sharp peaks. The optimum current density for those titrations was found to be 0.2-2 microA/cm2. The procedure was applied successfully to the determination of certain thiol compounds in drug formulations and the results were favorably compared statistically with those obtained from official methods.

The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
An alternative to SHE is the Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). This electrode features an...

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
