Self-titration concepts

The concept of reduction potential is introduced in Chapter 6. When the reduction potentials of two species differ by 0.1 V or more, the resulting redox reaction will proceed rapidly and stoichiometrically so that it may be used as the basis for a titrimetric procedure. The end point of a redox titration may be observed by following the potential of the titrand with an indicator electrode or with a visual indicator. In two special cases, the reagent (potassium permanganate and iodine) is self-indicating (vide infra).
