Abstract. A conductimetric acid–base titration that utilizes the concept of internal standard addition for the quantification of protic acid species is described. The standard addition of SO4–2 is employed for determination of HSO4 ions in aqueous solution. The method does not require accurate knowledge of the titrant, Ba(OH)2, and it can be extended for the quantitative analysis of species such as HSO3, HCO3, HPO4–2.
