Practical analysis of high purity chemicals--V. Precision silver chloride gravimetry.
A reasonably simple gravimetric silver chloride procedure with fairly wide tolerance in conditions is presented in full detail with all critical steps and precautions delineated. The procedure allows the precision determination of chloride by analysts having limited expertise with exacting gravimetric methods, and can be performed with equipment common to nearly all laboratories and without dependence on a standard substance. The elapsed and actual working times for the assessment of a solid sample in triplicate are 65 and 10-12 hr respectively. The application of the procedure to the assay of some high-purity chloride salts and to the standardization of hydrochloric acid solutions is described.
