Redoxtitration Morning Class
NERNST EQUATION
REDOX EQUIVALENT WEIGHT:
Self indicator:
•Highly color
•KMnO4- pink, Mn2+colourless
• End poin t- at fraction of drop
External indicator:
• In iodine titration- blue color complex
formed.
• Solution remain colorless upto
equivalence point- fraction of drop turn
solution blue
Redox indicator:
✓ Weak reducing or oxidizing agent,
✓ End point depend on-potential at given point
✓ Nernst equation-use to calculate potential

2.Ceriometry
3.Potassium dichromate
4.Iodine
5.Periodic acid
7. Titanious
chloride:
Permanganate type of titration:
hydrogen peroxide.

below
Titrant:- KMnO4 (xM)
Titer:- Solution of drug/ sample+ vehicle
Indicator:- Self- KMnO4
End point:- Pink
Precaution while weighing KMnO4 :
•Must weigh on watch glass.
•Always filter solution with glass wool and
not with cotton wool
Ceriometry:
Ammonium ceric sulphate- Strong oxidizing agent (Acid medium)
Indicator:
Ferrous phenanthrolone ion (Ferroin)
Sodium Nitrite Titration
▪ Aromatic primary amines react with sodium nitrite in
acidic solutions to form diazonium salts.
▪ C6H5NH2 + NaNO2+HCl C6H5N2Cl+ NaCl +
▪ End point is indicated by the presence of small amounts of nitrous acid.
2H2O
▪ End point detection by two methods,
Visual end point
Amperometrically
▪ KI + HCl HI + KCl
▪ 2HI + 2HNO2 I2 + 2NO + 2H2O
Application:
Used in the determination of primary aromatic amines. May be used for the analysis of
drugs such as benzocaine, dapsone, primaquine etc.
Periodic Acid titration
Polyhydroxy compound determine- By acylation.
Procedure:- glycol added to periodic acid-oxidation completed
Then potassium iodide added – liberated iodine titrated with thiosulphate
2H+ + HIO4 + 2I- HIO3 + I2 + H2O
The overall result is- each mole of periodic acid yields 4moles of iodine.
