Coulometric Titration with Electrogenerated +2 Tin Determination of Iodine, Bromine. and Various Oxidants via Iodometry
نویسنده
چکیده
Although the roster of coulometric titrations no\\' includes many reactions of classical titrimetry'. the lIse of cl,ectrogeneratecl +2 tin as a coulometric titrant has not previously been reported. We have found that in an acidic bromide medium +4 tin (probably SrlBr6-2) is reduced to the' +2 state (probably SnBr4-2) with 100% current efficiency' at a gold cathode. The formal potential of the stannicstannous couple in bromide medium is +0.27 V vs. N.H.E., a value sufficiently reducing so that (in prind\?le) +2 tin should serve for the titration of divers oxidants. In practice one encounters the inco!1\'enience that the rate of reduction of most substances by +2 tin is relatively small, but this can be circumvented by either of two means. Firstly, an excess of +2 tin can be generated in the test solution. and, after a short waiting period, the polarity of the generating electrode is reversed from cathode to anode and the excess +2 tin is titrated by the bromine electrogenerated at the anode. The other expedient, applicable to the determination of subs~ances capable of oxidizing iodide to iodine, is "coulometric iodometry". An excess of iodide ion is added to the test solution, and the liberated iodine is titrated with the electrogenerated +2 tin. The iodine-stannous reaction is rapid, and equivalence points can be detected accurately either potentiometrically or amperometrically. ROWLEYAND SWIFT2determined iodine (and thus various oxidants via iodometry) by adding a measured excess of standard thiosulfate solution. and back titration of the excess thiosulfate with electrogenerated iodine. This method suffers from the disadvantage of requiring a standard thiosulfate solution, and is only semicoulometric. Derect titration of iodine with electrogenerated +2 tin is simpler and more convenient.

Ultrasound-assisted micellar extraction of phenolic antioxidants from spices and antioxidant properties of the extracts based on coulometric titration data
Ultrasound-assisted micellar extraction of phenolic antioxidants from spices has been developed for the first time. The effect of the surfactant nature and its concentration on the extraction efficiency has been evaluated. Electrogenerated hexacyanoferrate(III) ions have been used as coulometric titrants owing to their selectivity towards phenolic antioxidants. The best recovery of phenolic ant...
متن کاملPolyvinyl alcohol as a useful indicator on iodometry: volumetric and spectrophotometric studies on iodine-PVA and iodine-starch complexes.
Iodometry is one of the easiest, most rapid and accurate methods for the determination of a relatively small amount of oxidizing agent, such as residual chlorine. Starch has long been used as a useful color indicator in iodometry. However, we found that PVA (polyvinyl alcohol with partially saponificated; e.g., saponification degree of 88%) is a more useful color indicator than starch. For exam...
متن کاملWhat is the weighing form in gravimetric determination of antimony(III) with oxine?
The gravimetric analysis of antimony(III) with oxine (8-quinolinol, Hox) was studied. The amount of antimony left in filtrate and washing solutions was corrected with the results of atomic absorption spectrometry. The weighing form, which had not been conclusive before the present study, was determined to be SbO(ox)(Hox)2. The result (purity of antimony(II) oxide: 99.84 +/- 0.05% (m/m)) of the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the stability of iron(II) solutions by precise coulometric titration with electrogenerated cerium(IV).
An iron(II) solution is often used as a reducing agent in titrimetry and standardized with cerium(IV) or potassium dichromate. Such an iron(II) standard solution is needed for not only titrimetric analyses, but also instrumental ones. Iron(II) is unstable even in a highly acidic solution, mainly due to air-oxidation; therefore, its standardization is required before use. In the present study...
