Since poly-mer performance in end-use applications is a function of theamount of copolymerized acrylic acid, it is important that acidcont

Sampling9.1 Analyze pelletized samples
15、 in the form as received.Analyze samples in duplicate.9.2 If the intent is to determine withinlot uniformity or todetermine the conformity of a lot to specification limits foraverage acid content, sample the lot in accordance withprinciples outlined in Practice D 1898.10. Standardization10.1 Weigh o
16、ut 0.2 to 0.3 g of benzoic acid and record itsweight to 0.0001 g. Transfer to a flask containing a stirring bar,add 100 mL of mixed solvent, and stir at room temperatureuntil dissolved.10.2 Add 6 drops of TB indicator and titrate with 0.1 NTBAH solution to the yellow-to-green-to-blue color change.Re
17、cord the titrant volume, V1, to 0.01 mL.10.3 Make a second standardization by repeating 10.1 and10.2.10.4 Determine a solvent blank by following 10.1 and 10.2except omit the benzoic acid. Record the value, V2, to 0.01 mL.10.5 Calculate titrant normality for each replicate determi-nation as follows:N
18、 5W/E!V1 V2!(1)where:N = normality, meq/mL,W = benzoic acid, g,V = titrant for benzoic acid, mL,V = titrant for blank, mL, andE = benzoic acid factor = 0.1221 g/meq.10.6 Average the two values for titrant normality and recordto 0.0001 meq/mL.10.7 Since solvent loss from titrant can occur readily,res

Conditioning11.1 Samples need not be conditioned.11.2 Conduct all titrations at the standard laboratory tem-perature of 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F).12. Procedure12.1 Weigh out a specimen whose weight
20、is within 6 10 %of the applicable nominal weights given below and record to0.0001 g.Expected % Acid Specimen Weight, g88252.00.65NOTE 2Below 8 % acid, it may be possible to achieve greaterprecision and better-defined end points by using a specimen weighingmore than 2 g, provided the specimen dissolv
21、es completely and stays insolution during titration.NOTE 3At 8 % acid and above, increased precision can be achievedby adjusting specimen weight within the 0.65 to 2.0-g limits, according toexpected acid content.12.2 Transfer the weighed specimen to a flask containing astirring bar and add 100 mL of
22、 mixed solvent. Connect theflask to a condenser and begin stirring and rapid heating. Whenboiling begins, reduce the heat to produce a steady moderatestream of reflux from the condenser tip. Reflux until specimenis dissolved (for 30 min, or longer if necessary).12.3 Stop stirring and heating. Transf
