Product Overview
This 0.1N iodine-iodide volumetric solution is a standardized BAKER ANALYZED™ reagent designed for precision in redox titrations and quantitative chemical analysis. Formulated with high-purity iodine and potassium iodide in a stabilized aqueous medium, it ensures consistent normality (0.1N) for accurate endpoint detection in iodometric titrations. The solution is manufactured under stringent quality controls, adhering to analytical-grade specifications to minimize impurities that could interfere with titration results. Its amber-colored packaging protects against light-induced degradation, preserving the solution’s stability over extended storage periods. The BAKER ANALYZED™ certification guarantees traceable lot-specific quality, making it ideal for applications requiring reproducible results, such as food analysis, pharmaceutical testing, or environmental monitoring. The solution’s balanced iodine-iodide ratio enhances solubility and reaction kinetics, while its pre-standardized concentration eliminates the need for in-house standardization, saving lab time. Compatible with most glassware and automated titrators, this reagent integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, reducing procedural variability.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this 0.1N iodine-iodide solution?
The solution remains stable for 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original amber bottle, tightly sealed, and protected from light and heat. Always check the label for the exact expiry date.
2. Can this solution be used for Karl Fischer titrations?
No, this 0.1N iodine-iodide solution is specifically standardized for redox titrations. Karl Fischer titrations require a different reagent system (e.g., iodine in methanol/pyridine) optimized for water content determination.
3. Is this solution compatible with plastic containers for storage?
While short-term storage in HDPE or PTFE containers is possible, prolonged contact with plastics may lead to iodine absorption or leaching. Glass containers (preferably amber) are recommended for long-term storage to maintain concentration accuracy.
4. How does the BAKER ANALYZED™ grade differ from ACS grade?
BAKER ANALYZED™ reagents undergo lot-specific testing for critical parameters like normality and impurity profiles, with certificates of analysis provided. ACS grade meets American Chemical Society purity standards but may not include the same level of lot-specific documentation.
5. What precautions should be taken when handling this solution?
Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat, as iodine solutions can stain skin and clothing. Work in a fume hood if handling large volumes, as iodine vapors may irritate respiratory tracts. Neutralize spills with sodium thiosulfate solution.
