In iodometric titration, potassium dichromate is used in:
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Indirect titration - liberates I₂
Iodometric Titration is an indirect method where iodine is liberated and then titrated.
- Step: The unknown oxidizing agent (like K2Cr2O7) is reacted with an excess of Potassium iodide (KI) in acidic medium. Cr2O72−+14H++6I−→2Cr3++3I2+7H2O
- Step: The liberated Iodine (I2) is then titrated with a standard Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) solution using starch as an indicator.
- This contrasts with Iodimetric titrations, where iodine is the direct titrant.
