Sodium meta-vanadate as volumetric reagent : Iodine monochloride method (Indirect determinatios)

Sodium meta-vanadate has been used as an oxidizing agent in hydrochloric acid medium for the indirect volumetric determination of hydrogen peroxide, lead dioxide, manganese dioxide, selenium dioxide, potassium persulphate, copper sulphate, sodium formate and sodium sulphide using iodine monochloride as a catalyst, pre-oxidizer and an indicator. Chloroform is coloured pink owing to the liberation of iodine during the titration and becomes light pale yellow at the end-point owing to the formation of iodine monochloride.
