Abstract Objective: A considerable number of commercially available topical antiseptic solutions rely on free available chlorine as an active ingredient due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, but limited empirical knowledge exists of the degradation kinetics of chlorine-based solutions in contact with host tissue. To better inform clinical practice, we developed and qualified a rapid and sensitive semi-automated microtiter plate-based iodometric titration assay suitable for the rapid determination of free available chlorine in small samples of dilute antiseptic solutions following contact with biological materials.

  • REDOX TITRATIONS with IODINE Introduction
    REDOX TITRATIONS WITH IODINE Introduction The shelf life of pharmaceutical products must always be tested. Hydrogen peroxide used in disinfectants is slowly reduced to water; it also photodegrades. Vitamin C in vitamin tablets is inherently unstable, being slowly oxidized by air. The ability to accurately and reliably determine the concentration of the active ingredients in various formulations is an important one. In this lab you will determine the content of hydrogen peroxide in a pharmaceutical disinfectant, as well as the concentration of ascorbic acid in Vitamin C supplemental tablets. Both analyses will involve the potentiometric titration of aqueous iodine with sodium thiosulfate using an automatic titrator. A platinum ring indicator electrode is used to follow the progress of the titration curve by potentiometry. Background Titrations Involving Iodine Iodine is a moderately weak oxidizing agent; it is reduced to form the iodide anion, as follows: – – I2(aq) + 2e l 2I (aq) E° = 0.621 V The above redox reaction is completely reversible, and so the iodide anion is a moderately weak reducing agent that will react with oxidizing analytes to produce iodine. Titrations involving iodine have evolved for the analysis of a number of oxidizing and reducing agents. In iodimetric titrations, the analyte (a reducing agent) reacts with iodine to produce iodide: – iodimetry Aox + I2 t Ared + 2I where Aox and Ared are the oxidized and reduced forms, respectively, of the analyte. In iodometric titrations, the analyte (an oxidizing agent) reacts with an unmeasured excess of iodide to produce iodine: – iodometry Ared + 2I t Aox + I2 excess The iodine produced in this reaction is stoichiometrically related to the amount of analyte originally present in the sample.

  • DETERMINATION of VITAMIN C in a PRODUCE PROTECTOR Iodometric Method - TEACHER ​
    DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN C IN A PRODUCE PROTECTOR Iodometric method - TEACHER ​ Since its discovery in the late 1920s1, no other chemical has ever been as celebrated as Vitamin C. The beneficial effect of Vitamin C is almost universally recognized2. It is a water- soluble keto-lactone with two ionizable hydroxyl groups; ascorbate monoanion (Figure - 1), AscH ,​ is the dominant form at physiological pH and is is an ​ excellent reducing agent as well. Research suggest that Vitamin C-rich foods, play an essential role against development of cancer; in addition, plasma concentrations of ascorbate have been shown inversely associated with cancer risk3,4 Figure 1 - ascorbate monoanion ​ ​ . Ascorbate monoanion undergoes two consecutive oxidations to form ascorbate radical (Asc )​ ​ and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) as shown in Figure 2: Figure 2 - sequence of reactions which Vitamin C undergoes during its oxidation ​ ​ Fruit and vegetables are good sources of vitamin C, and ~90% of the daily intake in the general population comes from these sources. The content varies between species, but citrus fruit, kiwi, mango, and vegetables such as broccoli, tomatoes, and peppers are all rich sources of vitamin C. Since it degrades when heated and during storage, processing and preparation procedures should be considered when estimating dietary intake of vitamin C. In the small intestine, vitamin C reduces dietary iron and allows for efficient transport across the intestinal epithelium. In general, Vitamin C is safe and well tolerated, even in large doses. The U.S. Institute of medicine set the Tolerable Upper Intake Level for oral vitamin C ingestion at 2 g daily for adults.

  • IODOMETRY Iodometry Is One of the Most Important Redox Titration Methods. Iodine Reacts Directly, Fast and Quantitively With
    IODOMETRY Iodometry is one of the most important redox titration methods. Iodine reacts directly, fast and quantitively with many organic and inorganic substances. Its to its relatively low, pH independent redox potential, and reversibility of the iodine/iodide reaction, iodometry can be used both to determine amount of reducing agents (by direct titration with iodine) and of oxidizing agents (by titration of iodine with thiosulfate). In all cases the same simple and reliable method of end point detection, based on blue starch complex, can be used. Reversible iodine/iodide reaction mentioned above is - - 2I ↔ I2 + 2e obviously whether it should be treated as oxidation with iodine or reduction with iodides depends on the other redox system involved. Second important reaction used in the iodometry is reduction of iodine with thiosulfate: 2- 2- - 2S2O3 + I2 → S4O6 + 2I In the case of both reactions it is better to avoid low pH. Thiosulfate is unstable in the presence of acids, and iodides in low pH can be oxidized by air oxygen to iodine. Both processes can be source of titration errors. Iodine is very weakly soluble in the water, and can be easily lost from the solution - due to its volatility. However, in the presence of excess iodides iodine creates I3 ions. This lowers free iodine concentration and such solutions are stable enough to be used in lab practice. Still, we should remember that their shelf life is relatively short (they should be kept tightly closed in dark brown bottles, and standardized every few weeks). Iodine solutions are prepared dissolving elemental iodine directly in the iodides solution.

  • Iodometry - Wikipedia
    1/25/2021 Iodometry - Wikipedia 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. Note that iodometry involves indirect titration of iodine liberated by reaction with the analyte, whereas iodimetry involves direct titration using iodine as the titrant. Redox titration using sodium thiosulphate, Na2S2O3 (usually) as a reducing agent is known as iodometric titration since it is used specifically to titrate iodine. The iodometric titration is a general method to determine the concentration of an oxidising agent in solution. In an iodometric titration, a starch solution is used as an indicator since it can absorb the I2 that is released. This absorption will cause the solution to change its colour from deep blue to light yellow when titrated with standardised thiosulfate solution. This indicates the end point of the titration. 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. Contents Basic principles Applications Determination of hydrogensulfites and sulfites Color of iodometric titration mixture before (left) and after (right) the end point Determination of sulfides and hydrogensulfides Determination of hexacyanoferrate(III) References Basic principles To a known volume of sample, an excess but known amount of iodide is added, which the oxidizing agent

  • 37G Titrations with Iodine 1087
    37G Titrations with Iodine 1087 37G TITRATIONS WITH IODINE The oxidizing properties of iodine, the composition and stability of triiodide solu- tions, and the applications of this reagent in volumetric analysis are discussed in Section 20C-3. Starch is ordinarily employed as an indicator for iodometric titrations. 37G-1 Preparation of Reagents PROCEDURE (a) Iodine approximately 0.05 M. Weigh about 40 g of KI into a 100-mL beaker. Add 12.7 g of I2 and 10 mL of water. Stir for several minutes (Note 1). Intro- duce an additional 20 mL of water, and stir again for several minutes. Care- fully decant the bulk of the liquid into a storage bottle containing 1 L of distilled water. It is essential that any undissolved iodine remain in the beaker (Note 2). (b) Starch indicator (sufficient for about 100 titrations). Rub 1 g of soluble starch and 15 mL of water into a paste. Dilute to about 500 mL with boiling water, and heat until the mixture is clear. Cool; store in a tightly stoppered bottle. For most titrations, 3 to 5 mL of the indicator are used. The indicator is readily attacked by airborne organisms and should be freshly prepared every few days. Notes 1. Iodine dissolves slowly in the KI solution. Thorough stirring is needed to hasten the process. 2. Any solid I2 inadvertently transferred to the storage bottle will cause the con- centration of the solution to increase gradually. Filtration through a sintered- glass crucible eliminates this potential source of difficulty. 37G-2 Standardization of Iodine Solutions Discussion Arsenic(III) oxide, long a favored primary standard for iodine solutions, is now sel- dom used because of the elaborate federal regulations governing the use of even small amounts of arsenic-containing compounds.
