Quinones interfere with the titration through the oxidation <strong>of</strong> hydriodic<br />
acid, which is produced from a reaction between water and <strong>Karl</strong><br />
<strong>Fischer</strong> reagent, to produce free iodine. For this reason, direct titration<br />
is impossible. Instead, an indirect method based on water vaporization<br />
is used.<br />
Either volumetric or coulometric <strong>Karl</strong> <strong>Fischer</strong> titration can be used. Refer<br />
to the section on Basic Knowledge for information on the water<br />
vaporization method.<br />
