4500-S2— F.

Iodometric Method
1. Reagents

a. Hydrochloric acid (HCl), 6N.


b. Standard iodine solution, 0.0250N: Dissolve 20 to 25 g KI in a little water and add 3.2 g
iodine. After iodine has dissolved, dilute to 1000 mL and standardize against 0.0250 N Na2S2O3,
using starch solution as indicator.
c. Standard sodium thiosulfate solution, 0.0250N: See Section 4500-O.C.2e.
d. Starch solution: See Section 4500-O.C.2d.

2. Procedure

a. Measure from a buret into a 500-mL flask an amount of iodine solution estimated to be an
excess over the amount of sulfide present. Add distilled water, if necessary, to bring volume to
about 20 mL. Add 2 mL 6N HCl. Pipet 200 mL sample into flask, discharging sample under
solution surface. If iodine color disappears, add more iodine until color remains. Back-titrate with
Na2S2O3 solution, adding a few drops of starch solution as endpoint is approached, and continuing
until blue color disap- pears.
b. If sulfide was precipitated with zinc and ZnS filtered out, return filter with precipitate to
original bottle and add about 100 mL water. Add iodine solution and HCl and titrate as in ¶ a
above.
3. Calculation

One milliliter 0.0250N iodine solution reacts with 0.4 mg S2—:

[(A × B) — (C × D)] × 16 000


mg S2—/L =
mL sample

where:

A = mL iodine solution,

B = normality of iodine solution,

C = mL Na2S2O3 solution, and

D = normality of Na2S2O3 solution.

4. Precision

The precision of the endpoint varies with the sample. In clean waters it should be
determinable within 1 drop, which is equiv- alent to 0.1 mg/L in a 200-mL sample.

5. Quality Control

The quality control practices considered to be an integral part of each method are
summarized in Table 4020:I.
