Theory of compleximetric titrations with redox indicators edta titration of iron(iii) using variamine blue as indicator

Theoretical expressions are derived for the color transition of variamine blue B base used as a redox indicator in the compleximetric titration of iron (III) with EDTA, and photometric and visual methods of end-point location are discussed. The addition of iron(II) favored the elimination of the interference of some metals. The effect of added iron(II) is illustrated and quantitatively accounted for.
