    Total Residual Chlorine by Titration

    Uploaded by

    Rachel Patalinghug
    This document describes the iodometric method for determining total residual chlorine in a sample by titration. Chlorine liberates iodine from potassium iodide, which is then titrated with a standardized sodium thiosulfate solution. The titration is done at pH 3-4 and the amount of thiosulfate used is measured to calculate the chlorine concentration in mg/L, with a minimum detection of 40 ppb using 0.01N thiosulfate and a 1000 mL sample. Reagents and procedures for standardizing the thiosulfate and performing the titration are provided.

    Determination of Total Residual Chlorine by Titration (Iodometric Method)

    Principle:

    Chlorine will liberate free iodine from potassium iodide solutions at pH 8 or less. The
    liberated iodine is titrated with a standard solution of sodium thiosulfate with starch as
    indicator. The titration is done at pH 3 to 4 to avoid partial oxidation of thiosulfate to
    sulfate. The minimum detectable concentration approximates 40 ppb Cl 2 if 0.01N titrant
    is used with a 1000 mL sample.

    Apparatus:

     Beaker
     Stirring Rod
     Burette
     Pipette
     Graduated Cylinder
     Aspirator
     Volumetric Flasks

    Reagents:

     Glacial Acetic Acid


     Potassium Iodide
     Concentrated Sulfuric Acid
     0.1 N Sodium Thiosulfate Stock Solution
     0.005 N Potassium Iodate Solution
     0.005 N Standard Sodium Thiosulphate Solution
     Starch Indicator Solution

    Preparation of Reagents:

    0.1 N Sodium Thiosulfate Stock Solution

    Dissolve 25 g of sodium thiosulphate in 1 L pre-boiled distilled water.

    0.005 N Standard Sodium Thiosulfate Solution

    Dilute 50 mL of 0.1 N Sodium Thiosulfate Stock Solution in a 1 L volumetric flask. Store


    at least two weeks before standardization.

    .005 N Potassium Iodate Solution

    Dry .1784 g potassium iodate crystals in an oven at 103oC for 1 hour. Place in a
    dessicator to cool at room temperature. Dissolve in 1 L distilled water.

    Starch Indicator Solution


    Weigh 1 g potato starch and 5 mg mercuric iodide, then add cold water to make a
    paste. Boil 100 mL distilled water and add the paste. Continue to boil while stirring
    until a thin, translucent fluid is obtained. Cool to room temperature before use.

    Standardization of 0.005 N Sodium Thiosulphate Stock Solution

    1. To 80 mL of distilled water, add 1 mL concentrated sulfuric acid, 5 mL potassium


    iodate solution and 1 g potassium iodide crystals.
    2. Titrate with sodium thiosulphate solution until pale yellow.
    3. Add 1 mL of starch indicator solution.
    4. Continue titrating until blue color disappears.
    5. Calculate the concentration of sodium thiosulphate using this formula:

    1
    𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 =
    𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑜𝑠𝑢𝑙𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑑, 𝑚𝐿

    Procedure:

    1. Pipette 5 mL glacial acetic acid and 1 g potassium iodide crystals in a beaker.


    2. Add the sample in the beaker and mix.
    3. Titrate with 0.005 N standard sodium thiosulphate until pale yellow.
    4. Add 1 mL starch indicator solution.
    5. Continue titrating until blue color disappears.
    6. Calculate the total residual chlorine using the formula below:

    𝐶𝑙2 𝐴 𝑥 𝑁 𝑥 35450
    𝑚𝑔 𝐶𝑙 𝑎𝑠 =
    𝐿 𝑚𝐿 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒
    where:

    A = volume of sodium thiosulphate, mL


    N = normality of sodium thiosulphate
