Abstract :- A simple and rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of iodate in table salt samples has been standardized using the oxidation reaction of iodate with pyrogallol red dye in sulphuric acid medium. The determination of iodate was done by measuring the decrease in absorbance of pyrogallol red dye at 470 nm. A standard calibration curve was prepared, for iodate concentrations in the range of 0.05 µg mL-1 to5 µg mL-1. The effect of NaCl and Iinterference on iodate determination has been studied. The kinetics of the reaction between pyrogallol red and iodate has also been studied. The oxidation reaction was found to be first order with respect to iodate concentration. The method has been used for the determination of iodate in 10 different brands of locally available common salt samples. Key Words: Iodate, Table salt, Pyrogallol
