Chemist and Aerosol News , 35 ( 12 ) : 45 As with other strong oxidizing agents, 1 should be added to the solvent rather than the solvent to 1 otherwise a violent reaction could occur. An excess of 1 was used because some is lost due to side reactions, and it has been reported to be about 90% reactive as determined by a thiosulfate titration of the iodine liberated on reaction of 1 with iodide.

  • If the test had been positive, then saturated NaHSO3 solution would have been added, and the solution stirred for a few minutes and tested again. This procedure would have been repeated until the test was negative.
