End Point of an Acid-Base Titration Determined by Electrical Conductivity

Description: Barium hydroxide solution is titrated with sulfuric acid; while in progress, the conductivity of the mixture is monitored, and the formation of a precipitate is observed. At the equivalence point, the solution is nonconductive and the light goes out.
