Oxidimetric methods for the volumetric estimation of sulphite

1. The use of permanganate, ceric sulphate, and dichromate for the estimation of sulphite has been reinvestigated, although these reagents have heen discarded as useless by earlier investigators. By using catalysts under controlled acid concentration, we have been able to develop conditions for the quantitative oxidation of sulphite to sulphate at room temperature by any one of these oxidizing agents, avoiding the formation of dithionate. Copper sulphate and iodine monochlonde have been found useful as catalysts with potassium permanganate and dichromate; but only iodine monochloride with ceric sulphate. 2.

Dependence of the electronic absorption spectra of aqueous solutions of iodine monochloride on the conditions of dilution and storage time

The electronic absorption spectra of aqueous solutions of iodine monochloride ICl are studied. The spectra of as-prepared solutions display the absorption band associated with hydrated ICl molecules. An additional band indicating that molecular iodine was formed in the solution emerges in the spectrum as dissolution takes place. Only the band belonging to iodine monochloride remains in the absorption spectra, and no additional bands appear after chloride anions Cl^? are added to the solution. The absorption spectrum becomes more complex when ICl is dissolved in an alkaline medium. The band belonging to molecular iodine emerges in the spectra at low alkali concentrations, while being transformed to other shorter-wavelength bands at high alkali concentrations (рН ≥ 12).     

Simple spectrophotometric and titrimetric methods for the determination of sulfur dioxide.

The proposed work describes a simple spectrophotmetric as well as a titrimetric method to determine sulfur dioxide. The spectrophotometric method is based on a redox reaction between sulfur dioxide and iodine monochloride obtained from iodine with chloramine-T in acetic acid. The reagent iodine monochloride oxidizes sulfur dioxide to sulfate, thereby reducing itself to iodine. Thus liberated iodine will also oxidize sulfur dioxide and reduce itself to iodide. The obtained iodide is expected to combine with iodine to form a brown-colored homoatomictriiodide anion (460 nm), which forms an ion-pair with the sulfonamide cation, providing exceptional color stability to the system under an acidic condition, and is quantitatively relatd to sulfur dioxide. The system obeys Beer's law in the range 5 - 100 microg of sulfur dioxide in a final volume of 10 ml. The molar absorptivity is 5.03 x 10(3) l mol(-1)cm(-1), with a relative standard deviation of 3.2% for 50 microg of sulfur dioxide (n = 10). In the titrimetric method, the reagent iodine monochloride was reduced with potassium iodide (10%) to iodine, which oxidized sulfur dioxide to sulfate, and excess iodine was determined with a thiosulfate solution. The volume difference of thiosulfate with the reagent and with the sulfur dioxide determined the sulfur dioxide. Reproducible and accurate results were obtained in the range of 0.1 - 1.5 mg of sulfur dioxide with a relative standard deviation of 1.2% for 0.8 mg of sulfur dioxide (n = 10).     

Titration of oxalic acid with cerium sulphate at room temperature using ferroïn as internal indicator

Evidence is presented to show that, contrary to the statements of earlier workers, the reaction between ceric sulphate and oxalic acid is quite rapid in hydrochloric acid medium specially in the presence of iodine monochloride as catalyst. We have now found that the need for a temperature of 50° in the cerimetric titration of oxalic acid using ferroïn as indicator is not due to the sluggishness of the reaction between oxalic acid and Ce^IV (as believed by Willard and Young) but because of the slow reaction between oxidised ferroïn and oxalic acid in the presence of sulphate ion derived from eerie sulphate. Conditions have now been developed for the titration of oxalic acid with eerie sulphate at room temperature in lN hydrochloric acid medium using ferroïn as indicator, and barium ion as scavenger for sulphate ion, which latter markedly retards the reaction between oxalic acid and oxidised ferroïn, as well as that between oxalic acid and Ce^IV. The method now developed has several advantages over that prescribed by Willard and Young because it avoids the high temperature of 50°, where the ferroïn indicator is found to undergo some dissociation. It also avoids the use of the iodine monochloride catalyst.     

Use of brucine as an oxidation-reduction indicator in cerimetry

Summary Brucine has been found to work satisfactorily as an inside indicator in the titration of molybdenum(V) and hydroquinone with ceric sulphate. It does not give a good indication of the end point in the titration of arsenic(III) in sulphuric acid medium, using osmium tetroxide as a catalyst or in hydrochloric acid medium using iodine monochloride as a catalyst. Brucine cannot also be used in the titration or uranium(IV) with ceric sulphate. A 0.1 per cent solution of brucine in 2 N–3 N acetic acid has been found to be stable for nine months without showing any discoloration.

At the equivalence point there is a sharp jump in potential in each titration.
