Abstract
A new spectrophotometric method suitable for the determination of a small amount of chloride using iron alum solution in nitric acid solution, and mercuric thiocyanate solution in a mixture of dioxane and alcohol solution has been established.The calibration curves conform to Beer’s law at concentrations up to 50 p. p. m. of chloride. The calibration curves are reproducible within ±1% for the range of 5-80 p. p. m. Cl− (Procedure A), and within ±0.05 p. p. m. for the range of 0.05-5 p. p. m. Cl− (Procedure B). As the calibration curves are affected by temperature, it is necessary to measure the absorbance always under the same conditions of temperature in order to achieve good accuracy.The colored solution is stable. A very small volume of the sample solution such as 5 cc. or 2.5 cc. is good enough for the determination. Interfering substances are few, because this method is carried out in acid medium. Br−, I−, CN−, SCN−, S2−, S2O32−, BrO3−, [Fe(CN)6]4− and [Fe(CN)6]3− interfere, but usually they are not ...
