Analysis of dissolved oxygen in river water is very essential to ensure that aquatic life is safe. As per
European standards dissolved oxygen should never be less than 6.4 mg/lit and preferably should be
greater than 9.6 mg/lit. A water body having value less than 6.4 mg/lit. is considered "heavily
polluted" and a water body having value greater than 9.6 mg/lit. is considered optimum fit for
aquatic life. One method to measure dissolved oxygen is through Winkler titration. The method
involves three stages.
Stage-1 : The water sample is treated with excess of a solution of Mn2+ (aq) along with a base to
cause the following reaction
....(i)
The precipitate then reacts with dissolved oxygen as shown

....(ii)
Stage-2 : The solution is added with excess of acidified solution of KI to cause following reaction,

consumed.
