•Standardization using Arsenic trioxide
Primary standard substance for standardizing iodine solution.
Substance present in aqu. Soln. as Arsenous acid is oxidized by Iodine.
Arsenic trioxide is slowly soluble in cold water more rapidly soluble in boiling water and
readily soluble in NaOH solution form sodium arsenite.H

•Standardization using Potassium bromate
Potassium bromate is a primary standard and can be obtained in high state of purity.
This can be determined by the addition of potassium iodide and dil. HCl with potassium
bromate.
After reaction between potassium bromate and potassium iodide, excess KI in acid solution
result in liberation of Iodine .

Detection of End point
1. Starch solution
•Most commonly used indicator in titration involving iodine.
•2 types of starch preparations available as indicator :
(i) Starch mucilage
(ii) Starch solution
i. Preparation of Starch mucilage
Triturate 0.5gm of starch or soluble starch with 5ml water + sufficient water to produce 100ml
Boil for few mins, cool and filter
•It must be freshly prepared to produce blue colour with free iodine
33
ii. Preparation of Starch solution
Triturate 1gm of soluble starch + 5ml water , stirring continuously
Add to 100ml of boiling water containing 10mg of mercuric iodide
•Aqustarch suspension decompose within few days because of bacterial action –adding
Mercuric iodide or chloroform as a bacteriostat.
•Starch indicator solution –added towards end of the titration.
•Disadvantage
Insolubility in cold water.
Instability of suspensions in water
Gives water insoluble complex with iodine.
Sometimes drift endpoint which is marked when solutions are dilute.
34
2. Sodium starch glycollate indicator
•Preparation
Dissolve 5gm of finely powdered solid sodium starch glycollate by mixing 1 to 2ml of ethanol + 100ml
of cold water
Boiling for few mins with vigorous shaking
Finely opalescent solution.
•Advantage
Does not form a water insoluble complex with iodine.
With excess of iodine the colour of solution containing 1ml of indicator is green –when iodine
conc. Diminishes the colour changes to blue.
