Evaporate the resulting chloroplatinic acid solu-tion to a moist salt. Dissolve this material in 20 mL of 6 Nhydrochloric acid solution and evaporate to

Cool, wash the watch glass and sides of the beaker withabout 20 mL of 6 N hydrochloric acid and dissolve the residuein the beaker. Add a few drops of formic a

Add distilledwater to bring the solution just to the neck of the flask, whichpermits mixing of all components.

27、rted on a volatile-free basis. The loss onignition (LOI) determination (1000C) is carried out sepa-rately, but weighed out at the same time as the ground samplefor digestion. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the sample,weigh by difference from a weighing vial. Weigh in triplicate 3g 6 0.1-mg samples

Remove the crucible fromthe muffle and transfer to a desiccator, cool, and weigh 1 h afterremoval from the muffle. The desiccant to be loaded in thedesiccator is fr

30、drochloric acid at 90C. Add 1 to2mLofH2O2or pass chlorine through the solution for 20 minto accelerate the reaction. Cover with a watch glass. Afterseveral hours heating at 85C, only a trace of residue (Al2O3)remains. Dilute this solution and filter into a 500-mL flask, andwash the paper with hot wa

Ignite the filter paper andredigest the residue in a few millilitres of aqua regia, evaporateto dryness, redissolve in 6 N HCl, evaporate to dryness,redissolve in 6 N HCl, and filter into the main solution. Thissolution is now ready to complex with SnCl22H2O.NOTE 1Filtration is necessary, since
32、 the very minute trace of aluminathat remains insoluble approaches the colloidal state and interferes in thespectrophotometric measurement. The insoluble material settles on stand-ing 20 h, but any disturbance of the solution redistributes it. In anephelometric test the filtered solution, after comp
33、lexing withSnCl22H2O, should show a clarity similar to that of the standard solution.7.3 Color Development of Platinum SolutionComplex thetest sample contained in the 500-mL flask with 30 mL ofSnCl22H2O solution and add sufficient additional concentratedHCl so that the flask contains 175 mL of HCl t
