Study Notes
Primary Standard Oxidant
- Potassium iodate (KIO3) is used as a primary standard oxidant.
Preparation of Standard I2 Solution
- The standard I2 solution is prepared by dissolving a weighed amount of iodine in a KI solution, which is then diluted to a specific volume.
Reaction of Iodate with Potassium Iodide
- In a weak acid medium (0.1-1 N HCl), iodate reacts with potassium iodide to form iodine and water.
Sodium Thiosulphate Limitation
- Sodium thiosulphate is not a primary standard because it is not sufficiently stable and its composition can vary.
Standardization of I2 Solution
- The solution of standard I2 is standardized by titrating it against a standard thiosulphate solution.
