Nouns denoting acts or actions.
Examples
- Polarography is an electrochemical method of chemical analysis that involves measuring the current passing through a polarizable electrode as a function of the applied potential.
- The results obtained through polarography can be used to determine the concentration of the analyte and the diffusion coefficient of the analyte.
- The technique of polarography has been widely used for the determination of metals and other inorganic ions in various samples.
- In modern electroanalytical chemistry, polarography is often used in conjunction with other techniques to analyze the composition of complex mixtures.
- The polarography method is particularly useful for the determination of trace amounts of metal ions in environmental and biological samples.
