Summary

Thallium(III) has been determined between pH 4.0 and 6.0 by titration against EDTA using sodium azide as indicator. The metal ion gives a bright yellow colour which is discharged at the equivalence point. Micro-quantities upto about 1 mg of the metal have been determined with accuracy. The end-point has also been determined photometrically. Gallium(III) and indium(III) can also be determined by back-titration of the excess of EDTA added to each of these ions against a standard ferric chloride solution using sodium azide as indicator.

Zusammenfassung

Thallium(III) wird durch Titration mit ÄDTA-Lösung bei pH 4,0–6,0 gegen Natriumazid als Indicator bestimmt. Der Umschlag am Endpunkt erfolgt von Gelb nach Farblos. Mikromengen bis zu 1 mg können mit guter Genauigkeit erfa\t werden. Die Bestimmung kann auch photometrisch durchgeführt werden. Gallium(III) und Indium(III) können durch Rücktitration von überschüssigem ÄDTA mit Eisen(III)-chloridlösung bestimmt werden, wobei ebenfalls Natriumazid als Indicator dient.
