Recordthe potential in millivolts
36、. Plot millivolts (linear scale) versus F concentration in milligrams (log scale).NOTE 2Potential measurements in calibration standards and sample should be carried out concurrently.12. Procedure12.1 Determination of Total Calcium:12.1.1 Transfer approximately 0.50 g of the sample to a small weighin
37、g bottle, previously dried at about 105 C. Dry the bottleand contents for 1 h at 105 C to 110 C. Cap the bottle and cool to room temperature in a desiccator. Momentarily release thecap to equalize the pressure and weigh the capped bottle to the nearest 0.1 mg. Repeat the drying and weighing until th
38、ere is nofurther loss of mass. Transfer the sample to a 400-mL beaker and reweigh the capped bottle to the nearest 0.1 mg. The differencebetween the two weightsmasses is the mass of the sample taken for analysis.12.1.2 Decomposition of SampleAdd 5 mL of HNO3, cover with a watch glass, and digest on
39、a hot plate. Cool somewhat,add 5 mL of HClO4, and evaporate first to fumes of HClO4. When decomposition appears to be complete, tilt the cover andevaporate carefully to complete dryness.Allow to cool, add 5 mLof HCl, dilute to approximately 50 mLwith water, and heat untilall the soluble salts have d
40、issolved. This is the main solution.NOTE 2If an insoluble residue remains, filter through a fine-textured paper, wash the paper thoroughly with hot HCl, ignite the paper and residuein a platinum crucible, treat the insoluble residue again with HNO3 and HClO4 as in sample decomposition, and combine t
41、his solution with the mainfiltrate. If the volume exceeds 90 mL, evaporate the volume to about 80 mL and cool.12.1.3 Transfer the solution to a 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute to volume, and mix.12.1.4 Transfer an appropriate aliquot (20.00 mL in the range from 80 % to 100 % CaF2 and 25.00 mL in the
42、 range from 40% to 80 % CaF2) to a 400-mL beaker. Add 5 mL of triethanolamine (8.11). Make the solution just alkaline with potassiumhydroxide KOH solution A (8.8) and add 15 mL of additional KOH solution A (8.8). Titrate with EDTA solution as described in11.1.1.NOTE 3As used in this test method (exc

Add 20 mL of acetic acid (1 + 10) (8.3) and digest at just below boilingpoint
44、for 60 min. Cool, filter through a fine-textured filter paper, and wash five times with acetic acid (1 + 10) (8.3), collecting thefiltrate and washings into a 50-mL volumetric flask. Dilute the contents to mark with water.12.2.2 Pipet a 25-mL aliquot into a 400-mL beaker and evaporate to dryness. Re
