Spectrophotometric determination of traces of arsenic.
Arsenic(III) is extracted into carbon tetrachloride from 3.5M sulphuric acid that is 0.8M in potassium iodide. 8-Mercaptoquinoline and acetone are added to the organic extract and the absorbance of the arsenic(III)-8-mercaptoquinolinate formed is measured at 380 nm. Repeating the extraction procedure highly increases the selectivity of the method; only tin(II) interferes with the determination.
