Titration Iodine Flask

Quick answer: A titration iodine flask is a wide-mouth flask with a ground glass stopper, used for reactions and titrations involving volatile substances such as iodine, where retaining the reactive gas or vapour is important for an accurate result.
A distinctive feature of the iodine flask is the moat or lip formed around the neck just below the stopper, which can be filled with a sealing liquid such as water. This liquid seal helps trap any gas or vapour that might otherwise escape past the stopper, which matters in procedures such as iodine number determinations where loss of iodine vapour would lead to an inaccurate titration result.
The wide mouth of the flask also makes it easy to add reagents and swirl the contents thoroughly during the reaction, while still allowing the flask to be sealed securely for the period needed before titration.

Applications
- Iodine number determination and related analytical procedures
- Titrations and reactions involving volatile gases or vapours
- General wide-mouth titration and reaction work in teaching and research labs
- Procedures where reagent loss through evaporation must be minimised
Care & Handling
- Keep the moat filled with the appropriate sealing liquid during procedures involving volatile substances
- Check the ground glass stopper fits securely before starting a reaction
- Swirl gently rather than shaking vigorously to avoid disturbing the liquid seal
- Rinse and dry thoroughly after use, particularly around the neck and stopper

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a titration iodine flask used for?
It is a wide-mouth flask with a ground glass stopper, used for reactions and titrations involving volatile substances such as iodine, where preventing loss of the reactive gas or vapour is important.
What is the moat or lip around the neck for?
The moat around the neck can be filled with a sealing liquid such as water, which helps trap any escaping gas or vapour under the stopper rather than letting it evaporate into the room.
What kind of tests commonly use an iodine flask?
It is commonly used for iodine number determinations and other titrations where a reaction can release iodine or another volatile substance that must be retained for accurate results.
Why is a wide mouth useful for this flask?
The wide mouth makes it easier to add reagents and swirl the flask thoroughly while still being able to seal it securely with the stopper for volatile procedures.
Can the flask be used for general titrations as well?
Yes, the flask can be used for general titration and reaction work, though its stoppered, sealed-neck design is particularly suited to procedures involving volatile substances.
Does LabEquip supply titration iodine flasks for bulk or institutional orders?
Yes. LabEquip supplies titration iodine flasks to schools, colleges and laboratories across India, including bulk and institutional orders. Contact us for a quotation.
