Definition

Relating to the measurement of how well a substance conducts electricity, often used in scientific contexts such as titrations.

Example

The conductimetric analysis revealed the concentration of ions in the solution.

Conversation

Have you ever tried using a conductimetric method for your experiments?

No, I haven't. What does that involve?

It's pretty cool because you can measure the conductivity to find the endpoint of a reaction.

That sounds interesting! I might look into it for my next project.
