Product Name – Iodine solution, N/10 CVS
Quantity/Pack Size – 6 ampoules
Form – Liquid (amber solution)
Grade – CVS (Certified Volumetric Solution)
Application – Redox titrations, iodometry
Product Overview
This N/10 iodine solution is a standardized volumetric reagent designed for high-precision redox titrations in laboratory settings. The solution contains 0.1N iodine dissolved in potassium iodide, stabilized to prevent degradation and ensure consistent performance. Packaged in 6 sealed glass ampoules, each containing a precise volume of solution, it eliminates the need for manual dilution while maintaining accuracy. The CVS grade certification guarantees strict adherence to concentration standards, with each batch tested for normality and purity. The amber coloration indicates proper iodine concentration while protecting the solution from light-induced decomposition. This formulation is particularly valued for its stability during storage and its ability to produce sharp endpoint color changes in titrations. The solution is compatible with standard laboratory glassware and meets the requirements for quantitative analytical procedures where iodine is used as the titrant.
FAQs
1. How should this iodine solution be stored to maintain its stability?
Store the unopened ampoules in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer the solution to an amber glass bottle and keep it tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and contamination.
2. Is this solution compatible with automatic titrators?
Yes, the N/10 iodine solution can be used with automatic titrators, provided the system is properly calibrated for redox titrations and the solution is protected from light exposure during the process.
3. What is the shelf life of this iodine solution when stored properly?
When stored in unopened ampoules under recommended conditions, the solution maintains its certified normality for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Can this solution be used for non-aqueous titrations?
This formulation is specifically designed for aqueous redox titrations. For non-aqueous applications, a different solvent system would be required, and the solution may need to be restandardized.
5. How does the CVS grade differ from analytical reagent grade?
CVS grade indicates the solution is certified for volumetric analysis with precise normality, while analytical reagent grade focuses on overall purity without specific concentration certification for titrations.
