Redox reactions are commonly carried out by many types of oxidants. They are classified as an anionicde-electronator or cationic deelectronator according to their nature. Oxygenated ions like dichromate (Cr2O7 --) and permanganate ( MnO4 --), etc. Are anionic ones whereas cerium (IV), Hg(II) and Cu (II), etc. are cationic. The nature of an deelectronator plays an important role on the stages of oxidation as well as on the nature of final oxidation product. . The course of the reaction is also influenced by the nature of oxidant. The powerful oxidant, Ce(IV) behaves as 1-equivalent reagent. The Ce(IV)- Ce(III) couple is 1.6 volts, when the standard potentials of the titrated and titrant systems are close together. However, the change in potential at the equivalence point is not marked to any appreciable extent and satisfactory potentiometric titrations in such cases are therefore are not possible. Hence the essential condition for a satisfactory potentiometric redox titration is that the two redox systems involved should differ appreciably in their formal potential values ( the recorded e.m.f. values). The greater the difference the larger will be the inflexion and more precisely can the end-point be determined. Nitric acid has been selected as a medium of the reaction in this case. Its concentration was 1.0(N), 1.5and 2.0(N). The electrode used was a bright platinum wire.
