Diazotization Titration 3

Diazotization titration is a method used to estimate primary aromatic amino compounds using 0.1M sodium nitrite as the titrant. The process involves the conversion of the amino group into a diazonium salt through a reaction with nitrous acid, which is generated from sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid. The endpoint is detected using starch iodide paper, which turns blue upon the presence of free nitrous acid.

Diazotization Titration

I) Definition of Diazotization Titration


Diazotization titrations are those titrations used to estimate the amount of simple primary
aromatic amino compounds by using 0.1M sodium nitrite as titrant.

II) Principle of Diazotization Titration:

Compounds containing primary aromatic amino group undergo diazotization titration. In


which amino group diazotized into diazonium salt by reacting with nitrous acid, which is
liberated from sodium nitrite in presence of, concentrated hydrochloric acid.

Hcl + NaNo2 HNO2 + Nacl

Nitrous acid is unstable in nature and it cannot be used as titrant and So sodium nitrite is
used as titrant.

Condition of titration:

The temperature of titrating mixture is maintained at 5-10 oC to prevent decomposition of


nitrous acid.

End Point Detection:


End point of this titration can be detected by using starch Iodide paper as external
indicator. When slight excess of free nitrous acid present on the starch iodide paper react with
potassium iodide and iodine is liberated, which gives immediate blue colour.

KI + Hcl Kcl + HI
2HNO2 + 2HI I2 + 2No + 2H2O
