Methods are described for determining ferrous iron in milligram amounts of sample. Decomposition is effected at room temperature by hydrofluoric acid containing quinquivalent vanadium to oxidise ferrous iron as it passes into solution. In the volumetric method, the ferrous iron is determined by titrating the excess of vanadiumv. The colorimetric determination is carried out by utilising the reversibility of the reaction V5++ Fez++ V4++ Fe3+, and the ferrous iron re-formed is determined by means of dipyridyl.IN the determination of the ferrous iron contents of silicate rocks and minerals, measures have to be taken to prevent atmospheric oxidation during decomposition. For example, a sealed tube is used in the decomposition of resistant silicates by sodium fluoroborate flux, When the sample is decomposed by hot or boiling hydrofluoric and sulphuric acids, l an atmosphere of steam or steam plus carbon dioxide is used to prevent atmospheric oxidation of ferrous iron, which is pronounced in the presence of fluoride ions, presumably owing to the formation of ferric fluoride complexes.
