Recommended Procedure Dissolve a weighed portion of the sample, calculated to contain 0.04 to 0.07 gram of iodide, in freshly boiled distilled water, cooled to room temperature. Buffer with 1 ml. of 2 M acetic acid and 9 ml. of 2 M sodium acetate and add starch solution. Titrate with 0.1 or 0.2 N sodium chlorite solution until a discharge of the blue color indicates that all the iodine, first formed by oxidation of the iodide, has been converted to iodate. Add a small excess of chlorite. Back-titrate with 0.02 M potassium iodide to a permanent amber. One milliliter of 0.2 N sodium chlorite is equivalent to 0.004231 gram of iodine. Summary

No interference b y small concentrations of chlorides is to be expected, since the potential of the couple l/zC1z

C1-

is 1.3583 volts. High concentrations of chloride ion, on the other hand, would retard the reduction of the chlorite. Since the potential of the couple Brz

+ 2e

=

2Br-

is 1.087 volts, a value very close t o that of the iodate-iodide, 1.085 volts, the liberation of bromine can be expected. The observation of Bray (1) that the oxidation of iodides to iodates b y chlorite is favored by the presence of H+, as well as I2 and 18-, is confirmed. The reaction is very slow until the first few milliliters of iodide have been oxidized and then is very rapid if the hydrogen-ion concentration is sufficiently high. It is possible t h a t a higher oxidation state of iodine acts as a catalyst for the reaction. Parsons (7)

A sodium chlorite solution may be employed for the volumetric determination of iodides in solutions buffered to a pH of 5.3 to 5.7 with either acetates or phosphates. Less satisfactory results were obtained using basic zinc salts as buffers. The reaction involves six equivalents of chlorite for each mole of iodide. Nitrates and sulfates do not interfere. Chlorides retard the reaction and bromides must be absent.

Kedrov [Caoutchouc and Rubber (U. S. S. R.), 1938, Xo. 7, 28-31]. In his paper, Mr. Kedrov includes the correct formula, which is as follows:
