Abstract:
A novel method for the determination of arsenic(V) in organic compounds has been developed by reducing combined arsenic(V) to arsenic(III) in aqueous acetic acid medium with zinc dust. In some cases, addition of ethyl alcohol is necessary to dissolve the compound and to keep the arsenic(III) compound in solution. The arsenic(III) is titrated with iodine and the end-point is detected visually with starch as indicator or potentiometrically.
