Abstract
Abstract Potassium meta-periodate has been used as an oxidising agent in acid medium for the volumetric estimationss of potassium iodide, arsenious oxide, antimonous oxide, stannous chloride, mercurous chloride, sodium sulphite, sodium thiosulphate, sodium tetrathionate, ferrous sulphate, potassium thiocyanate, hydrazine sulphate, phenylhydrazine hydrochloride and hydroquinone by the iodine bromide method. Carbon tetrachloride is used as an indicator. It is coloured pink during the titration. and becomes colourless at the end-point due to the formation of stable iodine bromide complex IBr2-, which does not dissociate, in the presence of a large excess of bromide ion.
