23、alicylic acid for compliance with requirements of this specification shall be performed as specified. Reaqents. Reagents to be used in determination of salicylic acid shall be as follows: (1) Benzene-Methanol Solution: Benzene, U.S.P. Reagent, 3 Volumes, plus Methanol, U.S.P. Reagent, 1 Volume. (2)
24、Ferric nitrate solution: 1.0 gm. Fe (N03)3. 9H20 in 100 cubic centimeters (cc.) of 1.0% “O3. (3) Standard solutions. Accurately weigh exactly 0.500 gm. of salicylic acid and dissolve in water to make 500 cc. Four standard solutions shall be prepared by diluting each of 0.5 cc., 1.0 cc., 1.5 cc., and
25、 2.0 ccI portions of the salicylic acid solution, described above, with distilled water to make 50 cc. Procedure. Dissolve approximately 50 milligrams (mg.) of bone wax, accurately weighed, in 3 cc. of Benzene-Methanol Solution contained in a 50 cc. volumetric flask, warming gently, if necessary. To
26、 the cooled solution add exactly 5.0 cc. of ferric nitrate solution. Then add enough water to make approximately 45 cc. and shake vigorously for 1 minute. Allow the two immiscible liquids to separate, and then add water to bring the aqueous layer to the 50 cc. mark. Draw off the benzene layer by mea
27、ns of a medicine dropper, pipette, or other suitable means. Centrifuge a portion of the aqueous solution to free the solution from suspended benzene droplets. Determine the absorbance of this aqueous solution by use of a suitable spectrophotometer, at wave length 525 millimicrons. Use a solution, pr
28、epared with the same quantities of the same reagents in a similar manner as a blank. Prepare a calibration curve of the standard solutions employing the above method and reagents.
