Iodometry

Iodometry is a chemical analysis method used to quantify the concentration of a substance, typically an oxidizing agent, in a solution. It involves a reaction with iodine, where iodine is added to the solution; it reacts with the analyte to form iodide ions. The amount of iodine consumed in the reaction indicates how much of the substance was present. This technique is common in fields like environmental testing and food safety, providing accurate measurements of various compounds, such as chlorine or vitamin C levels. Its reliability makes it a valuable tool in analytical chemistry.
