Ioding when combined in a compound is usually combined as the iodide. Iodide ions are negatively charged (ie each ion has an extra electron compared with an iodine atom). When elemental iodine is liberated, iodine atoms are formed from these ions which in turn pair up to form iodine molecules. When an Iodine ion changes into an atom it must lose the extra electron. From the acronym 'OILRIG' (Oxidation Is Loss of electrons, Reduction Is Gain of electrons) it is clear that as the elemental iodine has formed because of the loss of an electron the process must involve oxidation.

Why analysis of Cu from brass solution is considered as an iodometric titration?

Because the iodine is liberated, hence it is called as iodometric titration.


What is iodometry and iodimetry titration?

Iodometric titration is synonymous with redox titration method. Iodine is a universal laboratory reagent because it reacts directly with an array of organic and inorganic substances. Since iodometric titration is a form of redox or oxidation-reduction reaction, it can accurately measure the amount of oxidizing or reducing agents in a chemical reaction. Also, it can be reversed to either direction in an iodine/iodide reaction.


What is iodometric titration?

In this titration iodine is liberated ....Added:... from (excess of) iodide by an oxidant. The Iodine is then titrated with thio (di-sodium thio-sulfate) and starch as indicator added just before the expected equivalence point.

Why the oxidation reduction titration must be in basic medium?

It is not mandatory; acids are also titrated.

Is iodometric titration and redox titration is same?

No, they are not the same, but 1 is part of 2.Iodometric titration is just one of the (larger) group (or class) of oxidimetric titrations, which in turn is part of the much (larger) group (or class) of volumetric analysis method.

Does the amount of potassium iodide added to the potassium iodate solution affect the amounts of iodine liberated in iodometric titration?

Not usually. Potassium iodide is usually present in a large excess. It is usually the potassium iodate that is the limiting ingredient.


What is idometry?

Iodometry, also known as iodometric titration, is a method of volumetric chemical analysis, a redox titration where the appearance or disappearance of elementary iodine indicates the end point.
