Redox Titrations-II Location of inflection points of titration curves for homogeneous redox reactions.
The relative positions of the inflection points and equivalence point of a homogeneous redox reaction have been studied by using the redox buffer capacity to derive an equation for the titration curve. The position of the inflection point corresponding to the maximum slope of the titration curve relative to the equivalence point depends on the electron transfers of the analyte and the titrant (the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction equation) and on the difference between the formal potentials of the redox couples in a more complicated way than has been described previously.
