Definition
• A special type of titremetric procedure
involves the formation of precipitates during
the course of titration. The titrant react with the
analyte forming an insoluble material and the
titration continues till the very last amount of
analyte is consumed. The first drop of titrant in
excess will react with an indicator resulting in
a color change and announcing the termination
of the titration.
• Quantitative precipitation can be used for
volumetric determination.

Phenosafranine
• It is good adsorption indicator for titration of
chloride and bromide solution.
• The dye is green crystalline product which
dissolves in water to give a bright red solution.
• During the titration of chloride or bromide
with silver nitrate most of the indicator is
adsorbed on the precipitate in its red form, at
the equivalence point the colour suddenly
changes to blue.
Phenosafranine
• It is not useful in the pressence of sulphuric
acid because of bleaching effect on the colour.
• Good results obtained only when halogen is
present in the ionic form.
• Undissociated compounds such as chromic
chloride and mercuric chloride cannot be
analysed by this procedure. The same is of
course true of any adsorption indicator
method.
Diphenyl carbazone
• 0.2% alcoholic solution of diphenyl carbazone is
used as adsorption indicator.
• In titration of chloride a colour change from
bright red to violet is obtained.
• With bromide and iodide the change is from
yellow to green and with thiocyanate from pink
to blue.
• Since no color change is obtained in the presence
of acid.
• An acid solution must be first neutralised.
