Chemical reaction involved in limit test for iron:
- Limit test is used in the identification and quantitatively measure the impure substances in the chemical compounds.
- Limit test of iron uses the following chemical substances : citric acid , thioglycollic acid, ammonia solution.
- Thioglycollic acid is a sensitive oxidizing agent which converts ferrous ions (Fe (II)) into ferric (Fe III)
- Ammonia is used in the test to give alkaline condition.
- The precipitation of iron is done with the help of citric acid.
- Ferrous ion reacts with the thioglycolic acid in the ammonia solution and forms iron thioglycolate.
- It results in the conversion of pale pink to deep reddish purple colour.
- The colour formation is compared with the standard solution and the impurity is determined.
