A Modified Procedure for the Determination of Phosphorus in Detergents
Section 3: Reagents
- 3.1 Sodium Hydroxide
- approximately 0.25N (not standardized) - prepared from carbonate free 1 + 1 sodium hydroxide by dilution.
- 3.2 Sodium Hydroxide Solution (1 + 1)
- Dissolve sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in an equal weight of water. When using, decant the solution from the settled carbonate. A more dilute solution may be used. NaOH solutions must be protected from carbon dioxide (CO2) contamination.
- 3.3 Potassium dihydrogen phosphate
- reagent grade oven-dried at 105°C.
- 3.4 Hydrochloric Acid
- reagent grade, specific gravity 1.19.
- 3.5 Methanol
- at least 90% CH3OH.
