Potentiometric studies in oxidation-reduction reactions: Reduction with ferrous ethylenediamine sulphate indirect determinations

Abstract

Ferrous ethylenediamine sulphate has been used as a reducing agent to determine indirectly potassium dichromate, hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, potassium persulphate, potassium chlorate, potassium bromate, and ceric sulphate by a potentiometric method. An excess of ferrous ethylenediamine sulphate added to each of the substances in an acid medium is titrated with a standard solution of potassium permanganate, using platinum foil as an oxidation-reduction electrode coupled with a saturated calomel electrode through an agar-agar potassium chloride bridge.
