The varation of potential and completeness of reaction in an oxidation-reduction titration of Red$_1$ ($a\;Ox_1+N_1e{\leftrightarrow}b\;Red_1)\;by\;Ox_2\;(C\;Ox_2+n_2e{\leftrightarrow}d\;Red_2)$ is analyzed on the basis of general expressions. It is shown that the reaction deficiency as well as the rate of variation of the potential with titration fraction change in proportion to the $[n_2(a-b)-n_1(c-d)]$ th power of the concentration of the reagents. In particular, at the equivalence point, the expression of the potential contains a concentration dependent term that is proportional to ac-bd. Thus, the equivalence-point potential varies with the concentration of the reagents unless ac=bd is satisfied. It is also shown that the sharpness of the potentiometric titration curve is shown to occur either prior to or after the equivalence point depending upon whether $n_1cn_2b$, the deviation being the same order of magnitude as the relative deficiency at the equivalence point.

[ $Ti_{1-x}W_xO_{2-y}$ ]solid solutions with compositions of x = 0.01(TW-1), x = 0.02(TW-2), x = 0.03(TW-3) and x = 0.04(TW-4) were prepared at 1,073 K in air under atmospheric pressure. All the solutions exhibited tetragonal symmetries. Nonstoichiometric chemical formulas have been obtained from oxidation-reduction titration and the partial substitution of $W^{6+}$ ions mainly caused the formation of $Ti^{3+}$ ion, rather than oxygen excess. Resistivities of the samples were highly dependent on humidity. The increase of the W amount resulted in an increase of $Ti^{3+}$ content, decrease of resistivity values and finally degradation of photocatalytic activities.

An exact expression of the titration fraction as a function of the potential is derived for the cases where the coefficients of the both half reactions involved in the titration are homogeneous. It shows that the potential is independent of the concentration of the reagents not only at the equivalence point but also at all titration fractions. The sharpness of the end point detection by potentiometric method is shown to depend not only on the difference of the normal potentials involved but also strongly on the number of electrons transferred in each half reaction. The inflexion point of the potentiometric titration curve is shown to be slightly off from the equivalence point, including the cases where the number of electrons involved are equal. Completeness of the reaction in the course of titration is analyzed, too, mostly in terms of equilibrium constant, thus most of the results are applicable to any type of equilibrium in a single phase with particular relationship of coefficients of chemical equation.

Oxidation/reduction titrations are important quantitative procedures for many chemicals. Several widely used analytical methods for cosmetic ingredients are based on the redox reactions. In this article, we summarized basic theories of redox titration and applications. Determination of unsaturation properties based on iodine or bromine number, quantitation of hydrogen peroxide or peroxide materials in several cosmetic ingredients and measurement of titanium dioxide, widely used sunscreen agent, in cosmetics are discussed here.

We present an in-situ study of the interaction of a bimetallic Rh50Pd50 bulk crystal with O2, CO, and NO using ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and compare it to results for 10 nm nanoparticles with the same overall composition. The surface of the bulk crystal has less Rh present under both oxidizing and reducing conditions than the nanoparticles under identical conditions. Segregation and oxidation/reduction proceeds quicker and at lower temperature for nanoparticles than for the bulk crystal. The near surface of the Rh50Pd50 bulk crystal after high temperature vacuum annealing is ca. 9% Rh measured by XPS. Heating in 0.1 Torr O2 to $350^{\circ}C$ increases the Rh surface composition to ca. 40%. The surface can then be reduced by heating in H2 at $150^{\circ}C$, leading to a reduced surface of 30% Rh. Titration of CO from this Rh-rich surface proceeds at a much lower pressure than on the Rh-deficient starting surface.

Even traces of CO in the hydrogen-rich feed gas to proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) poison the platinum anode electrode and dramatically decrease the power output. In this work, a variety of catalytic materials consisting of $Cu/Ce_xZr_{1-x}O_2$, (x = 0.0-1.0) were synthesised, characterized and tested for CO oxidation and preferential oxidation of CO (PROX). These catalysts prepared by hydrothermal and deposition-precipitation methods. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, XRF, SEM, BET, $N_2O$ titration and oxygen storage capacity (OSC) measurement. The effects of composition of the support and degree of excess oxygen were investigated fur activity and $CO_2$ selectivity with different temperatures. The composition of the support markedly influenced the PROX activity. Among the various $Cu/Ce_xZr_{1-x}O_2$ catalysts having different composition, $Cu/Ce_{0.9}Zr_{0.1}O_2$ and $Cu/Ce_{0.7}Zr_{0.3}O_2$ showed the highest activities (>99%) and selectivities (ca.50%) in the temperature range of $150{\sim}160^{\circ}C$. It was found that by using of $Ce_xZr_{1-x}O_2$ mixed oxide support which possesses a high oxygen storage capacity, oxidation-reduction activity of Cu-based catalyst was improved, which resulted in the increase of catalytic activity and selectivity of CO oxidation in excess $H_2$ environments.

Currently oxidation-reduction titration method for the assay method using the hazardous reagent, carbon tetrachloride, for cefroxadine capsules has been used in Korean Pharmaceutical Codex. We developed and validated an alternative HPLC assay method by substituting the use of the hazardous reagent, carbon tetrachloride, to the use of less toxic ones like acetonitrile. The linearity of the calibration curves in the desired concentration range was good ($r^2$ > 0.999). Relative standard deviations of intra-day precision were ranged between 0.30% and 0.69% and inter-day precision were ranged between 0.47% and 0.82%. Accuracy was obtained with recoveries in range of 100.20% and 100.56%. Developed method was applied to the determination of cefroxadine in commercial cefroxadine capsule and could be expected to become valuable tools for revising the Korean Pharmaceutical Codex.
