Besides iodine, other oxidizing or reducing agents can serve as titrants in redox titrations. Common oxidizing titrants include KMnO4, cerium(IV), and K2Cr2O7. The choice of oxidizing titrants depends on factors like stability, cost, analyte strength, and reaction rate between the analyte and titrant. KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing titrant that reduces from Mn(VII) to Mn(II) in a highly acidic solution, simultaneously oxidizing the analyte to a higher oxidation state. In this case, KMnO4 acts as a self-indicator, turning colorless upon reaction completion.
Reducing analytes can also be titrated using acidic cerium(IV) solutions, with redox indicators employed for endpoint detection. The analyte is oxidized during titration while Ce(IV) reduces to Ce(III). Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), a moderately strong oxidizing titrant, reduces to Cr3+ in acidic solutions. The dichromate endpoint is observed using a redox indicator.
In contrast, most reducing titrants are oxidized by atmospheric oxygen, making them unsuitable for direct titration of oxidizing analytes. For example, thiosulfate is used indirectly as a typical reducing titrant for iodometric titrations. However, an acidified iron (II) solution can be used to titrate some strong oxidizing analytes, such as cerium(IV), chromium(VI), and vanadium(V).
