Description

It is very important that the proper order of reagent addition should be followed in the determination of formaldehyde in formalin by iodometry. Formaldehyde is oxidized to formic acid by hypoiodate ions in an alkaline medium. This reaction competes with the rapid transfer of hypoiodate ions to iodate ions in this medium. Quantitative determination is thus not possible when the right order of reagent is not followed.
