Iodimetric determination of organolead compounds

Abstract:
A sensitive, rapid and accurate titrimetric method has been developed for the determination of 50-5000 mug of ethyl-lead or phenyl-lead compounds, based on their oxidation with a chloroform solution of iodine, removal of the excess of iodine, oxidation of the resulting iodide with bromine, and iodometric titration of the iodate formed. The coefficient of variation does not exceed 1.2% for amounts > 1000 mug of the organolead compound, but increases to 2.8% for the 50-mug level. The ethyl- and phenyl-lead compounds can be determined independently in mixtures.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
