Suitable indicators for redox titrations
Not what you're looking for?
Methylene blue and diphenylbenzidine sulfonic acid are redox indicators that turn from colorless in the reduced state to blue (Methylene blue) or violet (Diphenylbenzidine sulfonic acid) in the oxidized state. Indicate whether each is a suitable indicator for the following redox titrations.
a. Reduction of Fe3 by Sn2 in 1M HCl.
Methylene blue: Suitable or unsuitable?
Diphenylbenzidene: Suitable or unsuitable?
b. Reduction of Ce4 by Fe2 in 1M HCl.
Methylene blue: Suitable or unsuitable?
Diphenylbenzidene: Suitable or unsuitable?

Recent Feedback
- "Thankyou for the feedback. I have a few question though; With the first statistic about cost below... “According to Sigma-Aldrich catalog, cost of 1L octane is AUD $ 392.00, whereas the cost of 1L ethanol is AUD $196.00. Moreover, if ethanol is obtained from sugar industry as a by-product, it may cost even less. Source of oxygen is ambient atmosphere, so it costs nothing. So ethanol is much cheaper than petrol, in fact it is half-priced: AUD $ (392-196) = $ 196.” I didn't think it made sense because the cost of petrol per litre is normally a dollar something or even less than a dollar not a couple of hundred of dollars. For example, a statistic that I found in america was: "U.S. ethanol production costs are about $1.20 per gallon of ethanol, or $1.82 per gallon on a gasoline-equivalent basis." However, I was wondering whether you could find an Australian statistic. Also, you mentioned that H20 is not a greenhouse gas. However, in the combustion equations it is actually carbon dioxide and water vapour which are produced and they are both greenhouse gases. Finally, how do I calculate the energy efficiency of ethanol and petrol? "
