Description

 

  •  PROCEDURE: 
  • Cobaltous chloride CS (Red solution)
  • (Mol. Formula: CoCl2.6H2O, Mol. Wt: 237.93)
  • Reagents:
  • (1) Hydrogen peroxide TS: Pipette 10 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide solution into a 100 mL volumetricflask, dilute to volume with purified water.
  • (2) Sodium hydroxide solution (1 in 5) : Mix 10 g of sodium hydroxide with 50 mL of purified water.

  • (5) Starch TS: Mix 1 g of soluble starch with 10 mg of red mercuric iodide and sufficient cold water to    make a thin paste. Add 200 mL of boiling water and boil for 1 minute with continuous stirring. Cool,and use only the clear solution.         
  • (6) 0.1N Sodium thiosulfate VS: Prepare and standardize as directed in the current version of General Test Procedure: Preparation and Standardization of 0.1N Sodium Thiosulfate VS (GTP029).
  • Preparation: Transferred about 16.25 g of cobaltous chloride, accurately weighed to a 250 mL     volumetric flask, dissolved and diluted to volume with hydrochloric acid and purified water mixture (25:975).
