Photometric determination of cobalt with nitroso-R-salt.
The chelate is quantitatively formed only in the pH range 6.5-7.5. Despite the large stability constant, a large excess of reagent is required to suppress interferences. The most suitable wavelength for the photometric measurement is 500 nm, where the molar absorptivity is 1.607 x 10(4) 1.mole(-1). cm(-1). The procedure given allows determination of 8 x 10(-4)% Co in a l-g sample. The standard deviation for cobalt is 2.1 mug/100 ml (f = 19). Applications to analysis of iron and steel, nickel, copper, ores and silicates are given.
