35、Application19.1 Useful comparisons between the color of relativelylight colored plasticizers and platinum-cobalt standards may bemade for colors in the range from 0 to 200, as defined inSection 20.20. Preparation of Color Standards1220.1 Dissolve 1.245 g of potassium chloroplatinate (K2PtCl6), conta
36、ining 0.5 g of platinum, and1gofcrystallizedcobaltous chloride (CoCl26H2O), containing about 0.248 g ofcobalt, in water containing 100 mL of HCl (sp gr 1.19). Diluteto 1 L with water to prepare a solution having a color of 500.This solution, already prepared, may be purchased fromlaboratory supply h
37、ouses.20.2 To prepare standards having colors of 5, 10, 15, etc.,dilute 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 mL, etc., of the solution described in 20.1with water to 50 mL in standard Nessler tubes. If 100-mLstandard Nessler tubes are used, dilute 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 mL, etc., to100 mL with water to obtain colors of 5, 10, 15,
38、etc. Protect thetubes from evaporation and from dust when not in use. Ifdesired, commercially available platinum-cobalt standards inNessler tubes or colored glass disks with proper spectraltransmission may be used, provided they are first checkedagainst standards prepared from K2PtCl6and CoCl26H2Oas
39、described above.21. Procedure21.1 Fill a 50 or 100-mL Nessler tube with the sample andcompare with the standards by holding side by side and lookingdown through the columns of liquid at a matte white surfaceilluminated by northern daylight.22. Apparatus22.1 RefractometerAn Abbe refractometer with sc
40、alegraduated directly in terms of refractive index of the D line ofsodium at a temperature of 23C.22.2 Water SupplyA water supply, the temperature ofwhich may be varied.REFRACTIVE INDEX23. Procedure23.1 The refractive index may be measured using theappropriate routine or precision method from Test M
41、ethodD 1807 or the method given in Sections 22 and 24.24. Procedure24.1 Place the refractometer in front of a suitable source oflight (either daylight or electric light), insert the thermometer,and adjust the circulation of water so as to bring the prisms tothe desired temperature (usually 23C (73.4
42、F). Clean withalcohol and wipe dry. Spread a drop of the liquid to be testedupon the lower prism and clamp the prisms together. Adjust themirror so that the light enters the telescope. Focus the eyepieceon the cross-hairs and the reading lens of the scale. Uponmoving the prism arm, a position can no
43、w be found where thelower part of the field is dark and the upper part light. Ingeneral, the borderline will be colored. Correct by turning themilled head on the right of the telescope so that a sharp blackand white edge is obtained. Move the prism arm until this blackedge just crosses the intersect
44、ion of the cross-hairs. Read therefractive index from the scale, estimating the fourth decimalplace.24.2 The accuracy of the instrument may be checked by asmall test plate of known refractive index, which is suppliedwith the refractometer. Attach this test plate to the upper prismwith a liquid of hi
45、gh refractive index (usually monobro-monaphthalene). Errors may be corrected by means of a smalladjusting screw.WATER CONTENT25.
