Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is based essentially upon the reductionof iodine by sulfur dioxide in the

Thisreaction can be used quantitatively only when pyridine and analcohol are present to react with the sulfur trioxide andhydriodic acid produced according to the following reactions:H2O 1 I21 SO21 3C5H5N2C5H5NHI 1 C5H5NSO3C5H5NSO31 ROHC5H5NHSO4R(1)4.2 To determine water, Karl Fi

Significance and Use5.1 Volatile solvents are used in a variety of chemicalprocesses which may be affected by water. Therefore, this testmethod provides a test pro
17、cedure for assessing compliancewith a specification.6. Apparatus6.1 Titration VesselFor color end point titrations, use a100 or 250-mL volumetric flask, which need not be calibrated;a 250-mL flask fitted with interchangeable electrodes (Fig. 1)3may also be used for the instrumental end point and isp
18、articularly suitable for titrations at ice temperatures. Forpermanently mounted assemblies, the vessel should have acapacity about equal to that of a 300-mL tall-form beaker; andbe provided with a tight-fitting closure to protect the sampleand reagent from atmospheric moisture, a stirrer, and a mean
19、sof adding sample and reagents and removing spent reactionmixture. It is desirable to have a means for cooling the titrationvessel to ice temperature.6.2 Instrument ElectrodesPlatinum with a surface equiva-lent to two No. 26 wires 5 mm long. The wires should be 3 to8 mm apart and so inserted in the
20、vessel that 25 mL of liquidwill cover them.6.3 Instrument Depolarization Indicator, having an internalresistance of less than 5000 V and consisting of a means ofimpressing and showing a voltage of 20 to 50 mV across theelectrodes and capable of indicating a current flow of 10 to 20A by means of a ga

Since the reagent losesstrength when exposed to moi
22、st air, all vents must be protectedagainst atmospheric moisture by adequate drying tubes con-taining indicating calcium sulfate drying agent. All stopcocksand joints should be lubricated with a lubricant not particularlyreactive with the reagent.6.5 Weighing Bottle, of the Lunge or Grethen Type, ore

36、nd the residual 95 % is used.8. Sampling8.1 Hygroscopic Solvents, including for example, ketones,acetates, alcohols, and glycol ethers, absorb ambient moisture.It is essential to avoid changes in the water content of thesematerials during sampling operations. Errors from this sourceare particularly
37、significant in the analysis of materials havinglow water content. When analyzing materials that absorbambient water readily, limit as much as possible contact withair in transferring the specimen into the titration vessel. Avoidintermediate sample containers, if possible.9. Standardization of Reagen
38、t9.1 Standardize the Karl Fischer reagent each day used byeither the color or instrument end point (Section 3) methodusing the same procedure as used for titrating the sample.9.1.1 Add to each flask 25 mL of ethylene glycol-pyridenemixture, and titrate this as described in Section 10. Add to thesolv
39、ent thus titrated, in place of the sample, 0.15 to 0.18 g ofwater from a weighing bottle or weighing pipet, weighed to thenearest 0.1 mg. Complete titration with Karl Fischer reagent asdescribed in Section 10.9.1.2 Calculate the equivalency factor, W, of the reagent interms of water content per mill

Procedure10.1 Introduce 10 to 25 mL of the anhydrous solventmixture (pyridine-glycol, 1 + 4
41、) into the titration vessel, mak-ing sure, if an instrument end point apparatus is used, that theelectrodes are covered by this amount of solvent. If the colorend point is to be determined, make up a second flask as well.10.2 Adjust the stirrer, if any, to provide adequate mixingwithout splashing. T
42、itrate the mixture to the instrumental endpoint (see 3.1), or the color end point (see 3.1.2), with KarlFischer reagent. If the color end point is to be observed, titrateone flask to the orange-red end point and the second to matchthe first. Set aside the first flask as a comparison standard fortitr
43、ating the specimen.10.3 To the titration mixture thus prepared, add an amountof specimen as indicated in Table 1. Exercise care when thespecimen is transferred so that water is not absorbed from theair, particularly under conditions of high humidity. Again,titrate the mixture with Karl Fischer reage
44、nt to the sameinstrumental or color end point previously employed. Recordthe amount of reagent used to titrate the water in the specimen.NOTE 5(a) KetonesIn titrating ketones when greatest precision isrequired, cool the reaction mixture in ice water during the addition of KarlFischer reagent.(b) Org
45、anic AcidsCool the reaction mixture in ice water prior to theaddition of Karl Fischer reagent.NOTE 6When using the volumetric flask type titration vessel in humidclimates, place a piece of thin sheet rubber over the mouth of the vessel;provide a small hole for introducing the buret tip. In less humi
46、d climatesit is sufficient to lower the tip of the buret deeply into the long neck of thetitration flask.NOTE 7In titrating with the volumetric flask type titration vessel,avoid wetting the stopper and upper end of the flask with either the reagentor the sample solvent. Each time the titration is in
47、terrupted, touch the burettip to the neck of the flask to remove droplets which, if not removed,would absorb moisture from the atmosphere. When the flask is removedfrom under the buret tip, wipe the tip with a clean dry cloth in a downwardmotion.11. Calculation11.1 Calculate the water content of the
