Abstract:
Profenamine hydrochloride, fluphenazine dihydrochloride, trifluopromazine hydrochloride, cyamepromazine maleate, perphenazine dihydrochloride and mepazine hydrochloride are proposed as redox indicators in the titration of hydroquinone, metol and ascorbic acid with chloramine-T and chloramine-B in sulphuric, hydrochloric and acetic acid media. They give a sharp reversible colour change at the equivalence point. A simple but accurate method for the determination of hydroquinone, metol and ascorbic acid is described. The conditional potentials and molar absorptivities of the indicators and redox potential of chloramine-B are reported.
