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.

Vanadametry Estimation of Thiosulphate

1.(a) We have found that sodium thiosulphate is quantitatively oxidized to tetrathionate in five minutes at room temperature (28°) by excess sodium vanadate in a medium containing sulphuric acid at 0.06N to 0.1N concentration and a little copper sulphate as catalyst. (b) Quantitative emulation of sodium thiosulphate to tetrathionate has also been achieved by the action of excess sodium vanadate during five minutes at room temperature in a medium containing 2.0N—8.0N acetic acid and a little copper salt as catalyst. Further oxidation to sulphate does not occur, even if the mixture is heated to boiling. (c) The excess of unreacted vanadate in 1(a) and 1(b) can be titrated with a standard solution of ferrous ammonium sulphate using diphenylbenzidine as indicator, after adding the requisite quantity of syrupy phosphoric acid. 2. On the other hand, sodium thiosulphate is easily and quantitatively oxidized to sulphate at room temperature, when. acted upon by excess sodium vanadate in a medium containing hydrochloric acid at an overall concentration of 5-6N and 1.0 ml of iodine monochloride as catalyst. The time required for reaction is ten minutes.

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. Sodium sulphite is also oxidized quantitatively to sulphate at room temperature, when added to excess of sodium vanadate solution containing 5 to 6N hydrochloric acid and iodine monochloride as catalyst.
