A new volumetric method for the determination of molybdenum(VI)

Summary A new volumetric method has been developed for the determination of molybdenum(VI). The method consists in the reduction of molybdenum(VI) by heating with a slight excess of hydrazine sulphate in 1 to 2 M hydrochloric acid medium for ten minutes on a water bath. The mixture is cooled and the molybdenum(V) obtained determined by titration with a standard solution of ceric sulphate at an overall acidity of 4 N hydrochloric acid, using diphenyl benzidine as indicator and adding 5 ml of syrupy phosphoric acid for 50 ml of the mixture. Alternately the molybdenum(V) can be titrated with a standard solution of ceric sulphate at an overall acidity of 3 N hydrochloric acid using ferroin as indicator and adding 5 ml of syrupy phosphoric acid for 50 ml of the titration mixture. The molybdenum(V) can also be titrated with a standard solution of sodium vanadate in 8 N sulphuric acid medium, using N-phenyl anthranilic acid as indicator. Alternately, the titration with sodium vanadate can be made with diphenyl benzidine as indicator in 4 N acid medium, adding 5 ml of syrupy phosphoric acid and 1 ml of 1.0 M oxalic acid to catalyse the indicator action. The method now proposed is much more convenient than the methods currently available. It is simple because it does not require any costly chemicals or complicated apparatus. Furthermore, it has the advantages of great rapidity and excellent precision.
