Abstract: | A sensitive catalytic method is developed for the spectrophotometric determination of oxalic acid. It is based on the catalytic action of oxalic acid on a new indicator reaction – the oxidation of Bromophenol Blue by dichromate in dilute sulfuric acid medium. The reaction rate is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance at 600 nm after quenching the reaction with sodium hydroxide. A calibration graph from 0.1 to 8.0 μg mL−1 of oxalic acid and a detection limit of 0.04 μg mL−1 was obtained. The applicability of this method was demonstrated by the determination of oxalic acid in water extracts from vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms and fresh kidney beans. Received October 18, 1999.
