Iodometry: Iodometry, Known As Iodometric Titration, Is A Method of

Iodometry is a redox titration method used to analyze the concentration of oxidizing agents. It works by monitoring the appearance or disappearance of elemental iodine at the endpoint of the titration. Some common applications of iodometry include determining the active chlorine in swimming pool water, copper concentration, and dissolved oxygen levels in water samples. Iodometry can also be used to analyze reducing systems in milk, concentrations of sulfites and sulfides, and hexacyanoferrate(III) levels.

Iodometry

Iodometry, known as iodometric titration, is a method of


volumetric chemical analysis, a redox titration where the
appearance or disappearance of elementary iodine indicates
the end point.
Iodometry is commonly used to analyze the concentration of
oxidizing agents in water samples, such as oxygen saturation
in ecological studies or active chlorine in swimming pool
water analysis.

Iodometry in its many variations is extremely useful


in volumetric analysis. Examples include the determination of
copper(II), chlorate, Hydrogen peroxide and dissolved
oxygen:
2 Cu2+ + 4 I− → 2 CuI + I2
6 H+ + ClO3− + 6 I− → 3 I2 + Cl− + 3 H2O
2 H+ + H2O2 + 2 I− → I2 + 2 H2O
2 H2O + 4 Mn(OH)2 + O2 → 4 Mn(OH)3
2 Mn3+ + 2 I− → I2 + 2 Mn2+
Available chlorine refers to chlorine liberated by the action of
dilute acids on hypochlorite. Iodometry is commonly
employed to determine the active amount of hypochlorite in
bleach responsible for the bleaching action. In this method,
excess but known amount of iodide is added to known volume
of sample, in which only the active (electrophilic) can oxidize
iodide to iodine. The iodine content and thus the active
chlorine content can be determined with iodometry.
The determination of arsenic(V) compounds is the reverse of
the standardization of iodine solution with sodium arsenite,
where a known and excess amount of iodide is added to the
sample:
As2O5 + 4 H+ + 4 I− ⇌ As2O3 + 2 I2 + 2 H2O
For analysis of antimony (V) compounds, some tartaric acid is
added to solubilize the antimony(III) product.

Application of Iodimetry

•Synthesis of silver stable nanoparticles•


The synthesis of the silver stable nanoparticles was done
using starch as a stabilizing and a reducing agent. The
nanoparticles were found in the electron micrograph in ranges
of 10-34 nm as analyzed using transmission. They were
prepared and found stable in aqueous solutions in a period of
around 3 months at a room temperature of 25 degrees. Then
an X-ray was set and the geometrical shape was analyzed and
revealed then iodimetric titration was done, then embedded
and the excitation was found at 380 nm and the typical
emission peak was at 553nm.

•Reducing systems of milk•


The study of milk’s reducing system was performed using
iodimetric titration employing O-iodosobenzoate. The
reducing capacity of the fat phase, dialyzable portion and the
serum proteins are all presented by this method. The reduction
with the fat phase is used as it contains the fat globule
membrane which is responsible for the reduction, while milk
fat emulsified in gelatin has no reducing capacity and so it
wasn’t used. Sulfosalicylic acid as used by Gould does not
precipitate quantitatively the serum proteins from raw milk,
but the efficiency of precipitation is greater in heated milk.
Thus, the decrease produced by heat treatment of milk in the
iodimetric titration values of sulfosalicylic acid filtrates is due
to both decreased reactivity of protein sulfhydryl groups and
increased perceptibility of the serum proteins. The similarity
in decreases of the reducing capacity for skim-milk, purified
serum proteins and crystalline β-lactoglobulin again suggests
that βlaetoglobulin is the principal reducing component of the
milk proteins. The decrease in reducing titer upon heat
treatment probably is due to oxidation by molecular oxygen,
since heat treatment of deaerated samples in the presence of
nitrogen produces little or no decrease.

•Determination of hydrogensulfites and sulfites•


Sulfites and hydrogensulfites reduce iodine readily in acidic
medium to iodide. Thus when a diluted but excess amount of
standard iodine solution is added to known volume of sample,
the sulfurous acid and sulfites present reduces iodine
quantitatively:
SO32− + I2 + H2O → SO42− + 2 H+ + 2 I−
HSO3− + I2 + H2O → SO42− + 3 H+ + 2 I−
•Determination of sulfides and hydrogensulfides•
Although the sulfite content in sample can be determined
straight forwardly as described for sulfites, the results are
often poor and inaccurate. A better, alternative method with
higher accuracy is available, which involves the addition of
excess but known volume of standard sodium arsenite
solution to the sample, during which arsenic trisulfide  is
precipitated:
As2O3 + 3 H2S → As2S3 + 3 H2O
The excess arsenic trioxide  is then determined by titrating
against standard iodine solution using starch indicator. Note
that for the best results, the sulfide solution must be dilute
with the sulfide concentration not greater than 0.01 M.
•Determination of hexacyanoferrate(III)•
When iodide is added to a solution of hexanocyanoferrate the
following equilibrium exists:
2 [Fe(CN)6]3− + 2 I− ⇌ 2 [Fe(CN)6]4− + I2
Under strongly acidic solution, the above equilibrium lies far
to the right hand side, but is reversed in almost neutral
solution. This makes analysis of hexacyanoferrate (III)
troublesome as the iodide and thiosulfate decomposes in
strongly acidic medium. To drive the reaction to completion,
an excess amount of zinc salt can be added to the reaction
mixture containing potassium ions, which precipitates
the hexacyanoferrate ion quantitatively:
2 [Fe(CN)6]3− + 2 I− + 2 K+ + 2 Zn2+ → 2 KZn[Fe(CN)6]
+ I2
The precipitation occurs in slightly acidic medium, thus
avoids the problem of decomposition of iodide and thiosulfate
in strongly acidic medium, and the hexacyanoferrate(III) can
be determined by iodometry as usual.
