5、 in an acetic acid solution of potassium acetatecontaining bromine.The following reactions then occur:CH3I1Br2CH3Br1IBr(1)IBr12Br213H2OHIO315HBrThe iodic acid is determined by titration of iodine liberatedby the reaction:HIO315HI3I213H2O(2)From the above equations,it follows that one methoxylgroup(C
6、H3O)liberates six atoms of iodine.3.Significance and Use3.1 Most of the methoxyl in wood is attributable to thelignin.This test method is used extensively in the study oflignin.4.Apparatus4.1 The apparatus shall be similar to that illustrated in Fig.1 and shall consist of the following:4.1.1 Reactio
