Abstract
This paper restudies the method of direct chelatometric titration of V(IV) with N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine (BPHA) as indicator. The indicator functions entirely differently from indicators hitherto used in chelatometry. The solution contains two independent systems – the indicator and the titrand-titrant system – without any color changing species. The BPHA-V(V) chelate once formed as the result of aerial oxidation constitutes the indicator system and does not react with EDTA. Its color therefore remains unchanged throughout titration. It is not a metallochromic indicator. Its function is that of color-screening. The color of the titrant system deepens during titration, but does not change. The end-point is indicated by one color completely covering up the other. Hence, this method is of purely empirical nature.
