2 Aug ‘17Redox Titration
IntroductionOxidation and reduction titrations may be used to measure many species especially metals in high or low valency states, iodine and iodides and easily oxidized organic compounds.
In redox titration the concentration of oxidizing agent and reducing agent will change simultaneously. Consider the following redox reaction: SCE || a (Ox), a (Red) | Pt The cell emf is: E = E° + (RT/F) ln [a (Ox) / a (Red)] - ESCE
As the reaction proceeds during titration, the ratio of the concentration will change as well as the emf.

Titration PreparationFor standard solutions, sodium oxalate, iron(II) ammonium sulfateor potassium iodate can be used. Potassium permanganate and iodine solution must be standardized before using because of decomposition.
An indicator for redox reactions are reagents whose oxidized and reduced form differ in color: ln (Ox) [color 1] + ne- = ln (Red) [color 2]
Consider the example of 1,10-phenanthroline iron(II): [Fe(C12H8N2)3]3+
(pale blue) + ne- = [Fe(C12H8N2)3]2+(deep red)
In some reactions the H3O+ results in a change in pH.

Redox IndicatorsBelow are common redox indictors

Diphenylamine Violet Colorless 0.76 Dilute acidMethylene blue Blue Colorless 0.53 1M acidPhenosafranine Red Colorless 0.28 1M acid
Another indicator involving iodine is starch solution (or synthetically similar material) . The starch forms a blue-black complex with iodine which but is colorless when there no iodine is present, i.e., iodine is converted to triiodide (I3
-).
For a redox indicator at 25°C, the color change takes place at the potential range of E = Eln + 0.059
5 Aug ‘17Redox Titration
Starch as an IndicatorsStarch is often used in chemistry as an indicator for redox titration where triiodide is present. Starch forms a very dark blue-black complex with triiodide which can be made by mixing iodine with iodide (often from potassium iodide). However, the complex is not formed if only iodine (I2) or only iodide (I-) is present. The color of the starch complex is so deep, that it can be detected visually when the concentration of the iodine is as low as 0.00002 M at 20 °C.
During iodine titrations, concentrated iodine solutions must be reacted with some titrant, often thiosulfate, in order to remove most of the iodine before the starch is added. This is due to the insolubility of the starch-iodine complex which may prevent some of the iodine reacting with the titrant. Close to the end-point, the starch is added, and the titration process is resumed taking into account the amount of thiosulfate added before adding the starch
