The applicability of the rotated dropping mercury electrode in conventional direct current polarography, alternate current polarography, and amperometric titrations, has been investigated. The direct current polarographic method was applied to the determination of minute quantities of lead contained in high-purity electrolytic zinc, the lowest content of lead determined being 0.0001 %. It was confirmed that the rotation of the electrode has no advantage in alternating current polarography. Some characteristics of the electrode, revealed by the measurement of current-time curves, are also presented and discussed.

mercury is not used as working electrode in amperometric titration because it is liquid form and a metal
