title: Indirect potentiometric determination of hydrazine, isoniazid, sulphide and thiosulphate with a chloramine-T ion-selective electrode.
abstract: Indirect potentiometric procedures with chloramine-T (CAT) as the oxidant and a chloramine-T ion-selective electrode are described for the determination of hydrazine and isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid) in the 1-100 mumole range and of sulphide and thiosulphate in the 0.5-50 mumole range. The reductants react stoichiometrically with a known and excessive volume of added CAT and the unconsumed excess of CAT is measured with the CAT-selective electrode. Aqueous solutions of the reductants were analysed with an error and precision of about 1-2%. Analytical recovery of isoniazid added to tablet diluents was 97-101% (average 98.9%). Results were comparable with those obtained with a titrimetric method for the determination of isoniazid in injection solutions and tablets.
