7、ta Sheet SD-533. Summary of Test Method3.1 The sample is first treated at a pH of 12 to 13 withaqueous hydrogen peroxide to oxidize the mercaptobenzothia-zole to soluble, noninterfering sulfonate. The treated sample isdissolved in glacial acetic acid and titrated potentiometricallywith dilute standa
8、rd silver nitrate solution. Since the solubilityof silver chloride in this system is sufficient to preventobtaining a suitable inflection at the very low limit of the testmethod, some chloride is deliberately added to the glacialacetic acid solvent and then corrected for by a blank titration.4. Sign
9、ificance and Use4.1 This test method permits the determination of very lowlevels of chloride ion in engine coolants containing thecommon corrosion inhibitor, mercaptobenzothiazole, or relatedmercaptans, which would normally interfere with the titrationby also forming insoluble silver salts with silv

34、beakers.Accurately pipet 20 mL of the treatedengine coolant sample into one beaker and 20 mL of the blank(10.2) into the second beaker and allow to dissolve. Titrate thecontents of each beaker potentiometrically with 0.01 N AgNO3solution while stirring slowly with a magnetic stirrer. Theequilibratio

Calculation11.1 Chloride Content:11.1.1 Prepare a titration curve by plotting potential read
36、-ings, using 2 mV per division, against the correspondingvolume of titrant added, using 0.02 mL per division. The endpoint is selected at the middle of the steepest portion of thecurve (see Fig. 1).11.1.2 Calculate ppm of the chloride ion in the originalengine coolant sample as follows:Chloride, ppm
