Determination of manganese with triethanolamine and o-tolidine by conventional and long-path photometry

A very sensitive method for the spectrophotometric determination of manganese is reported. To the sample is added triethanolamine (TEA) and sodium hydroxide to give a pH above 11; after atmospheric oxidation of manganese(II) to the green manganese(III)—TEA complex, sodium pyrophosphate is added and the solution is acidified. Manganese(III) thus forms a complex with pyrophosphate. Then o-tolidine is added and is oxidized in a 2e step to the intensely yellow quinonediimine, while manganese(III) is reduced to manganese(II). The absorbance is measured at 440 nm. The calibration curve is linear up to 1.6 μg Mn ml^-1 in the final solution; the limit of determination is 0.2 μg Mn ml^-1. For the 20-cm path cell, the respective data are 45 ng Mn ml^-1 and 2 ng Mn ml^-1. The only severe interferences are strong oxidants like dichromate or cerium(IV), which are readily reduced with sulfurous acid. Vanadium in amounts up to 2–3 times that of manganese can be dealt with by an appropriate blank solution; larger amounts of vanadium must be removed e.g. by a cupferron extraction.     

Bestimmung organischer Stoffe durch Oxydation mit Permanganat

Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Permanganat, Mangan(IV)-oxid und dem Pyrophosphatkomplex des dreiwertigen Mangans auf Oxalsäure wurde verglichen. Die Oxydation zu Kohlendioxid und Wasser verläuft mit frisch bereitetem Mangan(IV)-oxid in einem breiten Aciditätsbereich sofort und quantitativ. Die Oxydation mit Permanganat und mit dem Pyrophosphatkomplex des dreiwertigen Mangans verläuft langsamer. Im Falle des letztgenannten Reagens wird ein quantitativer Verlauf der Reaktion in 2 N schwefelsaurer Lösung bei Laboratoriumstemperatur nach 20 min erreicht.

Summary The effect of permanganate, manganese dioxide and of the pyrophosphate complex of trivalent manganese on oxalic acid has been compared. The oxidation of oxalic acid to carbon dioxide and water takes place immediately and quantitatively in a wide acidity range when freshly prepared manganese dioxide is used. Oxidation with permanganate and the manganese(III)-pyrophosphate complex is slower. With the latter reagent, a quantitative reaction is achieved only after 20 min at laboratory temperature in a medium of 2 N sulphuric acid.

Catalytic end-point indication in redox titrations

The applicability of catalytic end-point indication to redox titrations is demonstrated by the determination of 3–30 μmol of ascorbic acid (in 22.5 ml of solution) with standard dichromate solution; the chromium(VI)-catalyzed oxidation of o-dianisidine with hydrogen peroxide serves as indicator reaction. Oxidizing substances, such as vanadium(V), thallium(III) or cerium(IV) can be determined by addition of excess of ascorbic acid and back-titration.     

Specific Differential Spectrophotdmetric Determination of Ascorbic Acid in Plants Using Ascorbate Oxidase

Abstract

A specific enzymic-differential spectrophatometric method is described and evaluated for the determination of ascorbic acid in vegetables and medicinal plants. It is based on the absorbance measurement at 593 nm of the complex of ferrous ion with 2,4,6-tris (pyridyl)-S-triazine, which is produced by reduction of ferric ion by ascorbic acid, versus a blank sample treated with ascorbate oxidase. The absorbance difference is linearly related to ascorbic acid from 10 to 100 ug/ml. A standard deviation of ±0.5 ug/ml (n=5) and a mean recovery of 101.47. (98.3–103.3%.) from spiked plant extracts, were found. The method was used to determine ascorbic acid in various plants of the Greek flora. Acacia cvanophvlla was found to be the richest source tested for ascorbic acid (89.6 mq/100 q of leaves). The method is very simple and can be used in routine analysis.     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Amounts of Ascorbic Acid

Abstract

Colourless silver-gelatin complex is quantitatively reduced by ascorbic acid to yellow silver sol in water within the pH range 7.5–10.0 at room temperature. The determination of 1–10μg/ml of ascorbic acid is possible at 415 nm in the presence of glycine, alanine, fructose, sucrose, citric, tartaric, oxalic, malic, succinic acids and also in the presence of various reducing agents. The molar absorptivity of ascorbic acid at the δ_max is found to be 21500 lit mol^?1 cm^?1 and the Sandell sensitivity of the sol is 8.18x10^?3 μg ascorbic acid cm^?2 for 0.001 absorbance. The relative standard deviation is ±0.22% and the confidence limit (20 determinations, 95%) being 8.806±0.0093%.     

The Use Of Electron Activity Concept In The Calculation Of Oxidation-Reduction Equilibria

Abstract

Using an electron activity concept, equations are deduced which describe oxidation-reduction titrations in a manner similar to how pH describes acid-base titrations. Additional equations are presented for calculating percent error and also optimum conditions of oxidation-reduction titrations using conditional equilibrium constants. Results are shown for the titrations of iron(II) with dichromate and thallium(III) with ascorbic acid.

Oxidation of L-aspartic acid and L-glutamic acid by manganese(III) ions in aqueous sulphuric acid,acetic acid,and pyrophosphate media: A kinetic study

Kinetics of oxidation of L-aspartic acid and L-glutamic acid by manganese(III) ions have been studied in aqueous sulphuric acid, acetic acid, and pyrophosphate media. Manganese(III) solutions were prepared by known electrolytic/chemical methods in the three media. The nature of the oxidizing species present in manganese(III) solutions was determined by spectrophotometric and redox potential measurements. The reaction shows a variable order in [manganese(III)]_o: the order changes from two to one as the reactive oxidizing species changes from an aquo ionic form to a complex form. There is a first-order dependence of the rate on [amino acid]_o in all the three media while the other common features include an inverse dependence each on [H⁺] and on [manganese(II)]. Effects of varying ionic strength and solvent composition were studied. Added anions such as pyrophosphate, fluoride, or chloride alter the reaction rate and mechanism by changing the formal redox potential of Mn(III)-Mn(II) couple. Activation parameters have been evaluated using the Arrhenius and Eyring plots. Mechanisms consistent with the kinetic data have been proposed and discussed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

A Comparative Study on Spectrophotometric,Conductometric and Potentiometric Determination of Ascorbic Acid

Abstract

A comparison has been made on the selectivity, accuracy and precision of spectrophotometric, conductometric and potentiometric methods for the determination of ascorbic acid in water which is based on the reduction of gold(III) ion by ascorbic acid. Gold(III) ion forms a complex with gelatin in alkaline medium which on reduction with ascorbic acid produces coloured gold sol. The sol shows an absorption maximum at 540 nm with molar absorptivity of 2.3×10^?3litre mol^?1 cm^?1 and the Sandell's sensitivity of 7.6 × 10^?2 μgcm^?2. The relative standard deviation is 0.22% and the confidence limit (20 determinations, 95%) is 2.0 ± 0.009%. To examine the extent of sensitivity of the spectrophotometric method the proposed method is compared with the sensitivities of the conductometric and potentiometric methods.     

Flow Injection Analysis Determination of Ascorbic Acid with Spectrofluorimetric Detection

Abstract

A flow injection system for the fluorescence determination of low level of ascorbic acid is proposed. The method is based on the rapid oxidation of ascorbic acid by thallium(I). The fluorescence signal at 419 nm is proportional to the amount of ascorbic acid in the range of (1.4–28.0) × 10^?7 mole. The relative standard deviations for ten replicate measurements of 1.4 × 10^?6 mole of ascorbic acid was 1.3%. The sample rate of 45 ± 5 sample per hour was achieved. The usefulness of the method was tested in the determination of ascorbic acid in fruit juices and vitamin C tablets.     

Determination of Trace Manganese by Adsorption Voltammetry

Abstract

In a solution containing 0.005M borax medium (PH= 8? 10). 0.03% ascorbic acid and 0.001% gelatin, a fine sensitive adsorptive reduction peak of manganese appeared at ?1.53v (vs.SCE) on a hanging mercury electrode by fast speed scanning voltammetry. The derivative peak current is directly proportional to the concentration of manganese in the range from 1.0×10^?8M to 2.0×10^?6M. The detection limit is 3.0×10^?9M. Using this method, we have successfuly determined tracesof Mn in water and strawberry samples.

Precise results were obtained even in the titration of 10N solutions.

     

Construction,assessment and applications of a dichromate-selective liquid membrane electrode based on tetrapentylammonium dichromate

A dichromate-selective liquid-membrane electrode based on tetrapentylammonium dichromate dissolved in 2-nitrotoluene is described. The electrode exhibits rapid and linear response to the activity of Cr(VI) anions in the range 5 × 10^?4–2 × 10.2 M dichromate; the slopes of the calibration graphs depend on the acidity. The electrode is useful for end-point indication in titrations of iron(II), arsenic(III), ascorbic acid, thiobarbituric acid, thiourea, and cysteine with dichromate. The electrode is also used as indicator electrode in a potentiometric reaction-rate method for the determination of hydroxyl-containing organic compounds, based on their oxidation by dichromate in acidic solution; ethanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, and several carbohydrates were determined with a mean error of 1%. The method is applied to determine the ethanol content of alcoholic beverages. Kinetic data are given for the dichromate/ethanol reaction.

Complexes of Manganese Hematoporphyrin IX With Picoline and other Nitrogenous Bases

Abstract

The results of polarography and cyclic voltammetry studies of hematoporphyrin IX with eight different added ligands (other than H₂O and OH^?) in aqueous solvent are reported. Two nitrogenous ligand molecules were found to coordinate with both manganese (III) and manganese(II) hematoporphyrin IX. Oxygenated ligands such as acetate and pyrophosphate showed no tendency to coordinate with either manganese (III) or manganese (II) porphyrin. Porphyrin adsorption on the mercury electrode is quite evident. The adsorption mechanism appears to be complicated.     

2-Nitrodiphenylamine as a versatile high-potential reversible oxidation-reduction indicator

The use of 2-nitrodiphenylamine as a reversible indicator has been investigated in the titration of iron(II) with cerium(IV) sulphate, potassium dichromate and sodium vanadate in sulphuric acid media. Accurate results can be obtained with cerium(IV) sulphate in 0.5–5.0 M acid, with potassium dichromate in 5.0–7.0 M acid, and with sodium vanadate in 5.0–7.5 M acid. With cerium(IV) sulphate the titrations are preferably conducted in 2.0 M sulphuric acid or in a 1.0 M. sulphuric acid-1.0 M pechloric acid medium. Tungstic acid, acetic acid, arsenic(III) and manganese(II) do not interfere. In titrations of iron(II) with dichromate and vanadate, the colour changes at the end-point are much more vivid with 2-nitrodiphenylamine than with ferroin.     

Indirect Trace Determination of Ethylenediminetetraacetic Acid (Edta) in Water by Potentiometric Stripping Analysis

Abstract

An analytical method for indirect trace determination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in water, by potentiometric stripping analysis is described. Excess Bi(III) was added to form a 1:1 complex with EDTA at pH 2.3. The uncomplexed Bi(III) was then deposited on a glassy carbon electrode at a potential of ?0.40 V vs. SCE and subsequently stripped potentiometrically using potassium dichromate as oxidant. The stripping time of uncomplexed Bi(III) was recorded. The Concentration of EDTA in the sample was determined from the concentration of added Bi(III) and the potentiometrically stripped Bi(III) at ?0.4 V by the standard addition method. The relative standard deviation for EDTA concentration of 95 ppb and 4.5 ppb was 1.9% and 2.6%, respectively. The detection limit was about 1 ppb EDTA for a deposition time of 3 minutes.     

Meglumine sulfate-catalyzed one-pot green synthesis and antioxidant activity of α-aminophosphonates

A green and efficient synthetic protocol has been developed for the synthesis of a new series of substituted diethyl(((2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)(phenyl)methyl)phosphonates via a one-pot three-component reaction of 2-methoxy-5-trifluoromethyl aniline with various aromatic-substituted aldehydes and diethyl phosphite using meglumine sulfate as an eco-friendly catalyst at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. The merits of this method are high product yield, short reaction time, easy workup, and purification. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for the antioxidant activity by DPPH, NO, and H₂O₂ methods using ascorbic acid as a standard. The compounds 4a and 4g showed the highest antioxidant activity than that of the standard ascorbic acid.

Towards a Standard Method for the Measurement of Organic Carbon in Sediments

Abstract

The precisions achieved by two different methods for analysis of organic carbon in soils and sediments were determined and compared. The first method is a rapid dichromate oxidation technique (Walkley-Black) that has long been a standard in soil chemistry. The second is an automated coulometric titration method for which commercial instrumentation is available. The latter method shows relative standard deviations that are six to twenty times smaller than the dichromate oxidation technique. Development of a standardized sediment with a low level of organic carbon is recommended in order to facilitate the evaluation of the precision and accuracy of organic carbon measurement techniques.
