AC means alternating current - depending on the frequency, any part of an AC circuit ALTERNATES between being positive and negative - electrolysis will not happen - it relies on ions migrating to one particular electrode/polarity.

Why ac current is used in conductometric titration?

AC current is used in conductometric titration because it eliminates problems related to polarization and electrode fouling that can occur with DC current. AC current helps to ensure a stable and reliable measurement of the conductivity changes during the titration process, leading to more accurate and precise results.


Why use AC to measure ionic conductance and why not dc current?

in order to avoid electrolysis


What is electrolastics?

I believe you mean electrolysis. Electrolysis is using electricity to seprate lets say in the case of H2O the hydrogens from the oxygen. It is preformed by using only DC current. You cannot use AC

What kind of electricity supply is used for electrolysis?

It must be direct current for electrolysis.


What is the procedure of storing the ac current?

What letter represents current in equations?

The letter "I" is normally used for direct current, or for the average current in the case of AC. The lower-case version, "i", is used for the instantaneous current, in the case of AC.


How is electrolysis of water used?

Electrolysis, passing an electric current, through water separates the water into its elements: oxygen and hydrogen. When Direct Current (DC) is used, oxygen precipitates (comes out of) the water at the positive electrode and hydrogen precipitates at the negative electrode.
