title: Iodometric microdetermination of sulphur in organic compounds by an amplification reaction.
abstract: A new method is described for the iodometric microdetermination of sulphur in organic compounds, using a 12-fold amplification reaction after oxygen-flask combustion. The method is based on reaction of the resulting sulphuric add with an excess of saturated barium bromate solution. The unreacted barium bromate is precipitated by addition of acetone, filtered off, redissolved in hot water and after addition of an excess of iodide and acid, the iodine liberated is titrated with thiosulphate. The method is simple, rapid, highly accurate, and of wide application in the microanalysis of organosulphur compounds containing other common acid-forming elements.
