Wijs reagent solution by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This is a solution of iodine monochloride in acetic acid. This reagent is employed to determine the iodine value of various substances. This value is the mass of iodine in grams which is consumed by 100 grams of a chemical substance. Addition of this iodine chloride and back-titration with sodium thiosulphate is performed for the determination of this value. While this reagent is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Quantity Provided: 125 ml per bottle Contains a solution of iodine monochloride Suitable for determining the iodine value of substancesWijs reagent has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It can be used to determine the iodine value of various substances of different origin. This value is often used to determine the amount of unsaturation in fatty acids. A high value indicates a high number of C=C bonds present in the fat. This is because, this is the unsaturation in double bonds which reacts with iodine. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
