SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETECTION OF IRON 1. OBJECTIVES
Familiar with the use of spectrophotometric technique to determine the concentraon of an unknown soluon. 2. INTRODUCTION
Fe+2 is reacted with o-phenanthroline to form a orange-red complex ion. The intensity of the colored
complex is linearly proporonal to the concentraon of Fe+2. This compound absorbs light in the visible
region with a maximum absorbance occurring around 515 nm. Orange-red
A calibraon curve (absorbance versus concentraon) is constructed for known concentraon Fe+2 soluon
and the concentraon of the unknown iron sample is determined.
As Fe3+ does not form the complex with o-phenanthroline, all of the iron must be reduced to its ferrous
state. In this experiment, the reducon is done by hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH2OHHCl). 4Fe3+ + 2NH 2+ + 2OHHCl  4 Fe + N2O + 4H + H2O
