Study Notes

Lecture Title: Applications of Redox Titrations

Lecture Aim:
- Explain oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, including oxidation states and electron transfer concepts.
- Introduce different types of redox titrations and discuss their performance.
- Demonstrate how redox titrations are used for quantitative analysis to determine the concentration of oxidizing or reducing agents in a solution.

Lecture Competencies

Knowledge of Redox Principles: Understand the concepts of oxidation and reduction, and identify oxidizing and reducing agents.
Data Analysis and Interpretation: Analyze titration data, including construction and interpretation of titration curves, and calculate concentrations and equivalents from titration results.
Application of Theoretical Concepts: Apply stoichiometric principles to solve redox reaction problems and relate results to real-world scenarios, such as chemistry, environmental science, and medicine.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Evaluate experimental designs and troubleshoot issues during titrations, and assess the reliability and limitations of redox titration methods.

Lecture Contents: Free Elements

Metallic Iron (Fe): Determined by dissolving in ferric chloride solution. The resulting ferrous chloride is titrated with standard permanganate in the presence of Zimmermann reagent. Iron oxides do not interfere.
Free Halogens (Oxidizing): Iodine determination by direct titration with sodium thiosulfate solution. Bromine or chlorine displaces iodine from potassium iodide.

Lecture Contents: Determination of Peroxides

Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂):
- Reducing agent: Determined by direct titration using cerium(IV) ion (Ce⁴⁺) with ferroin indicator.
- Oxidizing agent: Determined by direct titration with potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) (iodometrically).
Zinc peroxide (ZnO₂): Determined using starch as indicator.

Lecture Contents: Determination of Organic Peroxides

Carbamide peroxide: Topical antiseptic solution, assayed for H₂O₂ content iodometrically.
Hydrous benzoyl peroxide: Keratolytic and keratogenic agents, determined iodometrically.

Lecture Contents: Determination of Oxides

Higher Oxides (MnO₂, PbO₂, Pb₃O₄):
- lodometrically: Use of acid (HCl) to determine MnO₂.
- Indirect titration with reducing agents. Oxalic acid (C₂O₄²⁻) used with a reducing agent, like ferrous ion.
Lead Oxide (PbO): Dissolved in glacial acetic acid, precipitating as lead oxalate; determined using KMnO₄.

Lecture Contents: Determination of Cations (Iron)

Ferrous Salts: Determined by adding KMnO₄ after Zimmermann reagent and self indicator.
Ferric Salts: By reduction to Fe²⁺ using pre-reductants (e.g., SnCl₂, Zn and H₂SO₄). Amalgamated zinc (ZnHg) and Jones reductor are also used.
Direct Titration with Titanous Chloride for Fe³⁺, using methylene blue or thiocyanate as indicators.
lodometrically: Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ and I₂/I⁻ systems are used for determination.

Lecture Contents: Determination of Cations (Hg²⁺)

HgCl₂: Reduced initially to Hg° by using formaldehyde (HCHO) in a Ca(OH)₂ medium. Excess standard reagent(e.g.,Na₂S₂O₃) used to indicate end point.

Lecture Contents: Determination of Insoluble Oxalates

Cations (Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, and others) form insoluble oxalates which are then dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid and titrated with standard KMnO₄.

Lecture Contents: Determination of Anions (Soluble Oxalates)

Soluble oxalates are determined by using KMnO₄ or Ce⁴⁺ in the presence of sulfuric acid and heating. The slow reaction initially becomes faster after the reduction product is formed (Mn²⁺ or Ce³⁺).
