Preparation and Standardization of 0.05 M Iodine Solution

Aim: To Prepare and standardize 0.05 M Iodine Solution by using As2O3

Name: 0.05 M Iodine solution

Ingredients Required for Preparation and Standardization of 0.05 M Iodine Solution:

  • Iodine
  • Potassium Iodide
  • Arsenic Trioxide
  • Hydrochloric Acid
  • Sodium Hydroxide
  • Methyl Orange
  • Sodium Bicarbonate
  • Starch Solution

How to Preparation and Standardization of 0.05 M Iodine Solution

To Prepare this solution, you’ll need to follow these steps:

  • First, take about 14 grams of iodine.
  • Then, dissolve it in a solution containing 36 grams of potassium iodide in 100 milliliters of distilled water.
  • Add 03 drops of hydrochloric acid.
  • Dilute the solution with more distilled water until you have a total of 1000 milliliters.

How to Standardization of 0.05 M Iodine Solution

To check the strength of the solution, follow these steps:

  • Accurately weighs about 0.15 grams of arsenic trioxide, which has been dried at 105 degrees for an hour.
  • Dissolve it in 20 milliliters of 1M sodium hydroxide by warming it if needed.
  • Dilute this with 40 milliliters of distilled water.
  • Add 0.1 milliliter of methyl orange solution and slowly add dilute hydrochloric acid until the yellow color changes to pink.
  • Next, add 2 grams of sodium bicarbonate, dilute with 50 milliliters of distilled water, and add 3 milliliters of starch solution.
  • Titrate this with 0.05 M iodine until a permanent blue color is produced.
  • Keep in mind, that each milliliter of 0.05 M iodine is equivalent to 0.004946 grams of As2O3.
