Titration are one of the methods we can use to discover the precise concentration of solutions. A typical titration involves adding a solution from a burette to another solution in a flask. The end point of the titration is found by watching a colour change taking place.However, a problem arises when a suitable indicator cannot be found, or when the colour change involved are unclear. In these cases, redox potential may sometimes come to the rescue. A perticularly well known example (Fig.) is a method of discovering then concentration of iron (II) ions in a solution by titrating them with a solution of cerium (IV). The redox potential that are of interest here are`E_(Fe^(3+)|Fe^(2+))^(@)=0.77 V "and"E_(Ce^(4+|Ce^(3+)))^(@)=1.61V.` These tell us that cerium (IV) ions are the oxidising agents. They should react according to the equation `Fe^(2+) (aq) + Ce^(4+) (aq) to Fe^(3+) (aq) + Ce^(3+) (aq).` Now imagine that we know the concentration of the cerium (IV) ions solution in the burette. We want to measure the concentration of the cerium (IV) solution from the burette, some of the iron (II) ions are will be oxidised. As a consequence the beaker would now contain large number of unreacted iron (II) ions , but also some iron (III) ions as well. All of the cerium (III). The solution in the beaker now represents an iron `(III)//iron(II)` half cell although not at standard conditions.Thus , the emf of the cell will be near, but not equal to `E_(Fe^(3+|Fe^(2+.)))^(@)` If we continue to add cerium (IV) solution , the number of iron (II) ions is gradually reduced and eventually only a very few are left (Table).At this stage the next few drops of cerium (IV) solution convert all the remaining irom (II) ions into iron (III), and some of the cerium (IV) ions are left unreacted. Once this happens we no longer have an iron `(III)//"iron"(II)` half-cell. Instead we have a solution in which there is a large number of cerium (III) ions and a smaller number of cerium (IV) ions. The solution in the beaker now behaves as a cerium `(IV)//"cerium"(III)`half-cell (although not a standard one.) Just before all the iron (II) ions are converted into iron (III) we have a cell with an EMF of around `+0.77V.` After all the iron (II) ions are oxidised we have a cell with an emf of about `+1.61 V. ` This rapid rise in emf occurs with the addition of just one drop of cerium (IV) solution. You should be able to understand why a graph of cell emf against volume of cerium (IV) solution of the iron (II) solution calculated in the usual way. When an ion is converted into a complex ion, the redox potential change. you can see this in the combination of standard emf of the iron `(III)//"iron"(II)` system `(+0.36 V).` The cyanide ion is said to stabilize the oxidation state of the iron. If you were to make up a cell `Pt(s)|underset(1"mol dm"^(-1)) (Fe(CN)_(6)^(3-))(aq),Fe(CN)_(6)^(4-)||underset(1"mol dm"^(-3))(Fe^(3+)(aq)),Fe^(2+)(aq)|Pt(s)` what would be the emf and what would be the cell reaction?A. `{:(0.41V Fe(CN)_(6)^(4-)(aq)+,Fe^(3+)(aq)),(,rarrFe(CN)_(6)^(3-)(aq)+Fe^(2+)(aq)):}`B. `{:(0.13V Fe(CN)_(6)^(4-)(aq)+,Fe^(3+)(aq)),(,rarrFe(CN)_(6)^(3-)(aq)+Fe^(2+)(aq)):}`C. `{:(0.41V Fe(CN)_(6)^(3-)(aq)+,Fe^(2+)(aq)),(,rarrFe(CN)_(6)^(4-)(aq)+Fe^(3+)(aq)):}`D. `{:(0.13V Fe(CN)_(6)^(3-)(aq)+Fe^(2+)(aq)),(,rarrFe(CN)_(6)^(4-)(aq)+Fe^(3+)(aq)):}`
