title: Determination of microquantities of thiosulfate by kinetic method.
abstract: A new redox indicator reaction between Cu(2+), Mn(2+) and S(2)O(3)(2-) in the presence of 2,2'-bicinchoninic acid is investigated. Optimum reaction conditions are determined. The influence of nonaqueous solvents on the reaction rate is studied. It is shown that in the presence of acetone the S(2)O(3)(2-) determination limit is lowered 0.005 mug ml(-1). Random errors lie within the limits allowable at the determination of microconcentrations. To raise the sensitivity of the determination of S(2)O(3)(2-) in some inorganic salts (KCl, KNO(3), CsNO(3)), this impurity was concentrated by low-temperature directed crystallisation. Metrologic characteristics of the developed technique are presented.
