What is entire principle involved in karl fischer titration

Answer Posted / jagadeesh chandra

What anil shoukhat had told is good.

The rxn is based on the bunsen reaction between iodine and
sulphur dioxide in presence of a base.Oxidation of sulphur
dioxide by iodine.The rxn is same as that of iodometry
titration.

I2+So2+2H2O--->2HI+H2So4.

Alcohol reacts with sulphur dioxide and a base to form an
intermediate alkyl suphite salt,which is then oxidised by
iodine to alkyl sulphate salt.

H2O+I2+SO2 + 3 C5H5N �� 2(C5H5N+H)I- + C5H5N��SO3
C5H5N��SO3 + CH3OH �� (C5H5N+H)O-SO2��OCH3.

Pyridine is used as a neutrilizing base.In order to shift
the equilbrium to the right of the rxn and to neutralise
the acids produced pyridine is used as the neutralizing
base.
