Simple instrument for titrimetry without visual indicators. Gasometric titrations: Dichromatometry

Even ions which do not release gases with a certain titrant can be determined by direct gasometric titration. To achive this end, a substance which liberates a gas with the titrant, must be added to the sample solution. The end-point of the main reaction can be read from the gasometric titration curve of this indicator substance.This principle is applied in the present paper to the titration of ferrous and stannous ions by potassium dichromate. Hydrazine sulfate serves as indicator. The results are comparable in precision and accuracy to the values obtained by the conventional visual end-point titrations.
