A kinetic-catalytic method for iodide based on the simultaneous addition of inhibitor and substrate

1987

Abstract A kinetic-catalytic method of analysis, based on the addition of a mixture of inhibitor and substrate, at a constant rate, over the catalyst in the presence of the other component of the indicator reaction is studied. The method is applied to the determination of iodide using the Ce(IV)As(III) catalytic reaction and Hg(II) as inhibitor. Under suitable experimental conditions the absorbance of the unconsumed Ce(IV) is inversely proportional to the initial iodide concentration.
