TIw determination of pcriodnte Itas gained considerable significance during tllc last few years.

A pl~otometric method for its determination in tllc presence of otllcr osidizing agents has been dcscribccl*l. -4 colorimetric mctllod after cstraction wit11 crystal violet in lxnxcnc! 11:~salso been devised”.

The PH values of tile solutions were varied between e.5 and 3.1 wit11 3 M sulfuric acid and I n/rpotassium hydroside ; the solutions were not diluted further. Tile plot of absorbance versus 1)~ measured against a reagent blank is sllown in Fig. 3. To study tile effect of time, solutions were preparccl as above with a pH of 1.0. The change in absorbance was noted at I-min intervals for 40 min. A simila-i solution after dilution to 50.0 ml wit11 95cyo etllanol was also observed. \Yl~en etllanol was absent, tile absorbance decreasecl quite rapidly \vitll time over 40 min; in the presence of ethanol, tile initial absorbance reading was less, but after IO min, tile decrease in absorbance with time was only gradual.

0.01 M benzhyclrazicle were acldccl and the mixture was diluted to the mark with 95”/0 ethanol. The absorbances of the solutions were read at 450 nm in ~-cm silica cells exactly 1’2 min after the addition of benzhydrazicle. A linear calibration was found over the range 6.0-x4.0* 110-d ICI periodate in the final solution; zero absorbance was found fo;_ 5. IO -4 M periodate.
The effect of interfering ions on the determination of periodatc was investigatetl. The mixtures containecl r3.S mg of potassiutn perioclatc and varying amounts of salts in excess of the periodate, ancl were treated by the above method. The results are given in Table I.
Tile addition of potassium hydrogen plltllalate to tile periodate-l,cnzllyclrazitle mixture helpecl to stabilize the color. The best 1)~ for color stability was between 1.0 was the color clisappearcd. Complete color clevelopiiient and 1.5; above pH 3.10 obtained within a few minutes after the aclclition of bcnzhyclraziclc at room temperature. The absorbance read at 450 nm, the wavelength of maximum absorption, clecrcasecl rapidly bcforc dilution with 95% ethanol ; the rate of decrease was slower after dilution. We wish to thank Dr. CH..\I
