Conductometric Analysis Electrolyte solutions behave as an electrically conductive medium. The change of electrolyte conductivity can indicate the change of the concentration of the total ions, this method is defined as conductometric Analysis 电解质溶液能导电，当溶液中离子浓度发生变化时，其电导也随之改 变。用电导来指示溶液中离子浓度的方法称为电导分析法。

Principles- basic property of electrolyte solution 1. conductance(G) 、specific conductance ( ) 、 molar conductance( m) 电导G：The resistance reciprocal is called conductance, its unit is Siemens G =1/R where 1 S=1 -1

电导率 : The resistivity reciprocal is specific conductance or electrolytic conductivity = G L / A its unit ：S cm-1 两电极板为单位面积，距离为单位长度时溶液的 电导。
