Abstract

A catalytic oxidation of formate by alkaline ferricyanide has been studied. To the formate solution an excess of ferricyanide and osmium tetroxide as catalyst were added and the excess ferricyanide was back titrated with arsenious oxide using the amperometric dead stop end point method. The method is superior to the oxidative determination of formate by alkaline permanganate.
