Abstract: | Summary The only method recommended for the direct estimation of ferric iron in presence of HCl is to reduce the ferric iron to ferrous iron and then to titrate against KMnO4 solution by adding Reinhardt-Zimmermann reagent (MnSO4 + H2SO4 + H3PO4). The solubility of the phosphato complexes of ferric chloride and phosphoric acid is much reduced by adding a nonaqueous solvent, ethyl alcohol or acetone. This property has been availed of to find out a method of estimating ferric iron directly against standard solution of phosphoric acid in aqueous-nonaqueous medium using K4Fe(CN)6 or cupferron as external indicators. A slight discrepancy at the end point, however, exists in the direct titration but it can be removed by applying a correction factor determined from the estimated results. |
