Abstract

Titanium(III) is a useful strong reductant and is usually standardized with iron(III) in volumetric analysis. Iron(III) is widely used as an oxidant and is usually standardized with thiosulfate ions through an iodine liberation reaction. The evaluation of the standardization procedure for iron(III) with thiosulfate ions is therefore essential to ensure the reliability of standardized titanium(III) solutions. To investigate the titration procedure for iron(III), two different titrations were performed: redox titration with thiosulfate ions through an iodine liberation reaction and chelatometric titration with disodium dihydrogen ethylenediaminetetraacetate. Subsequently, for the investigation of standardization of iron(III), titanium(III) was assayed through two titration paths: redox titration with standardized iron(III) and redox titration with standard potassium dichromate. The reliability of titrimetric procedures was evaluated by applying several different stoichiometric reactions to each chemical. All titrimetric procedures were consistent with each other within their expanded uncertainties and were capable of providing reliable volumetric standards with careful operations presented in this study.
