Abstract

AbstractA new membrane electrode was prepared, using cetylpyridinium chloride based Sn(IV) phosphate (CPC‐SnP) as the electroactive material. The electrode exhibits a linear response for the surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) in the concentration range 5.0 × 10−3–5.0 × 10−6 mol dm−3 with a slope as a 29.1 mV/decade change in the concentration. The working pH range and the response time for the electrode are 2–6 and 30 s respectively. Selectivity coefficients for several cations were determined. The determination of CPC in mouth wash gave results that compare favorably with those obtained by the two phase titration method. This electrode has been utilized as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of cationic surfactant CPC as well as in direct determination of CPC.
