✦ Synopsis

The "dead-stop" method of titration of FOULK AND BAWDEN~ has found put few applications, although it yields accurate results and requires only inexpensive equipments. This situation results perhaps from the fact that the electrochemical phenomena involved have never been explained in a satisfactory manned and the apparently empirical character of the method may have deterred further application. It is the purpose of the present paper to fill this gap and to explain the phenomena occurring during a "dead-stop" titration. Since polarization curves will be used in this discussion, some principles pertaining to these curves will be briefly discussed.
