5.2 Hydrochloric-nitric acids mixture.
Mix three volumes of hydrochloric acid ( ρ = 1,19 g/ml approximately), one volume of nitric
20
acid (ρ = 1,40 g/ml approximately) and two volumes of water.
20
This mixture shall be prepared immediately before use.
5.3 Nitric-perchloric acids mixture.
Mix 100 ml of nitric acid (ρ = 1,40 g/ml approximately) with 800 ml of perchloric acid (ρ = 1,54 g/ml
20 20
approximately). Dilute to one litre with water and mix.
Perchloric acid (ρ = 1,67 g/ml approximately) may also be used. 100 ml of perchloric
20
acid (ρ = 1,54 g/ml approximately) are equivalent to 79 ml of perchloric acid (ρ = 1,67 g/ml
20 20
approximately).
5.4 Nickel standard solution, 1 g/l.
Weigh (0,500 ± 0,001) g of nickel (Ni ≥ 99,9 %) and transfer into a heat-resistant glassware of suitable
size. Add 25 ml of nitric acid (ρ = 1,40 g/ml approximately), diluted 1 + 1. Cover with a watch glass,
20
and, if necessary, heat gently to assist dissolution. When dissolution is complete, boil to remove
nitrogen oxides. Allow to cool to room temperature and transfer the solution quantitatively into a
500 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix.
1 ml of this solution contains 1,0 mg of nickel.
5.5 Nickel standard solution, 0,04 g/l.
Transfer 10,0 ml of nickel standard solution (5.4) into a 250 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the
mark with water and mix.
Prepare this solution immediately prior to use.
1 ml of this solution contains 0,04 mg of nickel.
5.6 Iron base solution, 40 g/l.
Weigh, to the nearest 0,01 g, 10,00 g of pure iron (5.1) and transfer into a heat-resistant glassware of
suitable size. Add 100 ml of the hydrochloric-nitric acids mixture (5.2), cover the glassware with a
watch glass and heat gently until the iron is dissolved. Add 150 ml of the nitric-perchloric acids mixture
(5.3) and heat until dense white fumes of perchloric acid appear. Continue heating for one minute and
allow to cool.
In order to get a better mastery of the acidity (volume of free perchloric acid) of the sample solutions
and of the calibration solutions, perchloric fumes may be maintained until iron crystallizes.
Add 100 ml of water and heat gently to dissolve the salts. Cool again and transfer the solution
quantitatively into a 250 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix.
5.7 Iron base solution, 2 g/l.
Transfer 10,0 ml of iron base solution (5.6) into a 200 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark
with water and mix.
