Definitions related to potentiometry:
-
An electroanalytical technique in which the electrical potential of a solution is measured to determine the composition of the sample, by comparing the constant potential of the reference electrode with the actual potential of the indicator electrode.NCI ThesaurusU.S. National Cancer Institute, 2021
-
Solution titration in which the end point is read from the electrode-potential variations with the concentrations of potential determining ions. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)NLM Medical Subject HeadingsU.S. National Library of Medicine, 2021
-
Use of a potentiometer, which is a resistor having a continuously adjustable sliding contact, to measure electromotive forces, and the application of such measurements.CRISP ThesaurusNational Institutes of Health, 2006
