Little information concerning titration of inorganic salts in nonaqueous solutions has been available.Inorganic salts have been found to be acidic, neutral, or basic when dissolved in glacial acetic acid.A method for the determination of this behavior is described.Many cations of basic inorganic salts can be titrated potentiometrically or visually using perchloric acid in p-dioxane as titrant.Salts containing chloride, bromide, or iodide anions are acidic in glacial acetic acid. These are converted to basic salts by the addition of mercuric acetate, and thus are titratable with perchloric acid. The proposed method permits the direct titration of a great number of inorganic salts (if soluble in glacial acetic acid).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
