      • Temperature
    • Detection of the endpoint in redox titration
      • Indicators used for end-point detection
      • Internal redox indicators change color when oxidized or reduced
      • External redox indicators added to the titration solution and change color when oxidized or reduced

    Standard Oxidants & Reductants

    • Standard Oxidants are strong oxidizing agents used in redox titrations
      • Potassium permanganate (KMnO4)
        • Self indicator
        • Pink color in solution
      • Ceric sulfate (Ce(SO4)2)
        • Indicator: Orthophenanthroline (yellow in reduced form, blue in oxidized form)
      • Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7)
        • Indicator: Diphenylamine (blue in oxidized form)
    • Standard Reductants are strong reducing agents
      • Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3)
        • Not a primary standard due to its instability

    Applications of Redox Titration

    • Determination of Ferrous sulfate (FeSO4)
      • Can be titrated with:
        • Potassium permanganate (KMnO4)
        • Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7)
        • Ceric sulfate (Ce(SO4)2)
    • Iodimetry titrations:
      • Include reducing analytes
      • One reaction is used
      • Iodine is a standard solution

    Potentiometry

    • Potentiometric titration:
      • Measures the change in potential developed on the indicator electrode during titration
      • Different types of titration curves depending on the reaction type (neutralization, complexometric, preciptimetric, and redox)

    Conductometry

    • Conductometry measures the conductivity of a solution, which changes during titration
    • Used to determine the endpoint of a titration.

    Water Analysis

    • Water analysis uses various techniques to determine the quality and composition of water.

    Examples of Redox Titration Indicators

    • Orthophenanthroline is a specific indicator in redox titrations
    • Starch is a specific indicator for iodide
    • Diphenylamine and SCN are examples of internal redox indicators
    • Potassium permanganate is a self-indicator titrant

    Other Key Facts

    • The oxidation potential of the redox indicator must be intermediate between both the oxidant and the reductant, with a difference of at least 0.15 volts.
    • The potential developed on a zinc electrode when immersed in zinc sulfate is called the electrode potential.
    • Adding Zn2+ to a Ferricyanide/Ferrocyanide system causes the oxidation potential to increase.
    • Platinum electrode may acquire a negative charge when the redox system is oxidizing.

    Redox Reaction Example

    • 3 e- + MnO41- + 4 H+ → Mn2+ + 2 H2O
    • The MnO4- ion is reduced to Mn2+ in this reaction.
