✦ Synopsis


A small amount of a linoleic acid sample solution was dropped on a carbon fiber paste containing a mixture of acetic acid and methanol (1 : 1) saturated with potassium iodide. The present method needs no titration, and the only pretreatment needed for the sample is the dissolution of linoleic acid with an acetic acid-chloroform mixture ( 3 : 2). The complete electrolysis time of iodine produced by the reaction of iodide ion and peroxides was found to be 2-3 minutes. The results obtained by coulometry were in fairly good agreement with those obtained by conventional iodometry.
