Indicator paper

Test a small quantity of the aqueous solution or extract of the carboxylic acid with litmus or with Universal indicator paper. 

Sebacic acid. Dissolve 40 g. of methyl hydrogen adipate in 100 ml. of absolute methanol to which 01 g. of sodium has been added. Pass a current of about 2 0 amps, until the pH of the solution is about 8 (ca. 5 hours) test with B.D.H. narrow-range indicator paper. Transfer the contents of the electrolysis cell to a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask, render neutral with a little acetic acid, and distil off the methanol on a water... 

If an appreciable amount of residue remains, note its colour. Add a few drops of water and test the solution (or suspension) with htmus or with Universal indicator paper. Then add a httle dilute hydrochloric acid and observe whether efiervesceiice occurs and the residue dissolves. Apply a flame test with a platinum wire on the hydrochloric acid solution to determine the metal present. (In rare cases, it may be necessary to subject a solution of the residue to the methods of qualitative inorganic analysis to identify the metal or metals present.) If the flame test indicates sodium, repeat the ignition of the substance on platinum foil. 

Solubility in water. Treat a 0 10 g. portion of the solid with successive 10 ml. portions of water, shaking vigorously after each addition, until 3 0 ml. have been added. If the compound does not dissolve completely in 3 0 ml. of water, it may be regarded as insoluble in water. When dealing with a liquid, add 0 -20 ml. of the compound to 3 0 ml. of water and shake. In either case, test the contents of the small test-tube with htmus (or with Universal indicator paper) it is best to remove a little of the solution or supernatant liquid with a dropper. 

Filter paper impregnated with dicarbonyl(benz-2,l,3-thiadiazole)rhodium chloride gives characteristic colorations with the aminophenol isomers after fixation and can be used as an indicator paper (99).

The solvents were evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was taken up in 80 ml of 3M hydrochloric acid. After addition of 220 ml of water, the insoluble material was filtered off, washed with 100 ml of water and then dried. The insoluble material weighed 9.5 g and was mainly unreacted bromo compound. The filtrate was reacted with 50 ml of 7 M NaOH, extracted three times with methylene chloride (50 m -t 2 x 25 ml portions), dried over potassium carbonate, and then evaporated. The yield of residue was 26.8 g which corresponds to 71.4% of the theoretical yield. This residue was a colorless solidifying oil and was dissolved in 200 ml chloroform. Hydrogen chloride was bubbled in until a sample of the solution tested acidic to wet pH indicator paper. A precipitate was obtained and recovered by filtration. The precipitate was washed with chloroform and dried. The melting point was determined to be from 246 Cto247.5°C. 

Dissolve a known weight (ca 0.5 g) of the steel by any suitable procedure. Treat the acidic sample solution (< 200 /jg Co), containing iron in the iron(II) state, with 10-15 mL of 40 per cent (w/v) sodium citrate solution, dilute to 50-75 mL and adjust the pH to 3-4 (indicator paper) with 2M hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. Cool to room temperature, add 10 mL of 3 per cent (10-volume) hydrogen peroxide and, after 3 minutes, 2mL of the reagent solution. Allow to stand for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. Extract the solution in a separatory funnel by shaking vigorously for 1 minute with 25 mL of chloroform repeat the extraction twice with 10 mL portions of chloroform. Dilute the combined extracts to 50 mL with chloroform and transfer to a clean separatory funnel. Add 20 mL of 2M hydrochloric acid, shake for 1 minute, run the chloroform layer into another separatory funnel, and shake for 1 minute with 20 mL of 2M sodium hydroxide. Determine the absorbance of the clear chloroform phase in a 1 cm cell at 530 nm. 

Add cautiously (FUME CUPBOARD), and with constant stirring, 10 mL of the ammonium citrate solution this will prevent the precipitation of metals when, at a later stage, the pH value of the solution is increased. Then add 10 mL of the 20 percent ascorbic acid, and adjust to pH 4(BDH narrow-range indicator paper), by the cautious addition of concentrated ammonia solution down the side of the beaker while stirring continuously. Then add lOmL of the 50 per cent potassium cyanide solution (CAUTION ) and immediately adjust to a PH of 9-10 (BDH indicator paper) by the addition of concentrated ammonia solution. 

This applied particularly to double-base propints, although some single-base propints also gave erratic results. For these reasons, work was undertaken at Picatinny Arsenal to find an indicator that would be more reliable than methyl violet. About 60 commercially available dyes were examined by S. Helf (Ref 5) in exptl indicator paper tests, of which only three were found to be superior to methyl violet benzoazurine, trypan red and ethyl violet. Laboratory and surveillance testing showed that papers prepd with a 0.1% soln of benzoazurine did not change in color after one year when used with stable double-base propint, while methyl violet paper was bleached in nearly every case. The other two indicators mentioned above, trypan red and ethyl violet, were not as satisfactory as benzoazurine, although they were better than methyl violet.

The polyester is stable in storage at RT. The thermal stability at 65.5° using a 1.3g sample and Kl-Starch indicator paper is failure after 100 mins (Ref NC, 10 min, no color) at 134,5 using a 2.5g sample and Methyl violet paper, failure is shown after SO mins (Ref NC, 30 mins, no color)...

We can determine an approximate value of the pH of an aqueous solution very quickly with a strip of universal indicator paper, which turns different colors at different pH values. More precise measurements are made with a pH meter (Fig. 10.11). This instrument consists of a voltmeter connected to two electrodes that dip into the solution. The difference in electrical potential between the electrodes is proportional to the hydronium ion activity (as will be explained in Section 12.10) so, once the scale on the meter has been calibrated, the pH can be read directly. 

Gaseous sterilization Ethylene oxide (EO) Reactive chemical Indicator paper impregnated with a reactive chemical which undergoes a distinct colour change on reaction with EO in the presence of heat and moisture.

Use is made of colour changes resulting from reaction of pollutant and chemical reagents colour intensity indicates concentration of pollutant in the sample. Reaction can take place in solution or on solid supports in tubes or on paper strips, e.g. litmus or indicator paper. Quantitative assessment of colour formation can also be determined using visible spectroscopy. Instruments are calibrated...
