Preparation of Solution

Analar grades of all chemicals must be used and all buffers must be filtered through a 0.22 pm filtration membrane before use to remove particulate material. 

10 ml 6 N HC1 (1 1 dilution of stock Aristar HC1 with nanopure water) 

To prepare sodium/potassium acetate buffer potassium acetate, 647.68 g sodium acetate trihydrate, 299.20 g tripotassium citrate, 8.8 g glacial acetic acid, 220 ml deionized water to 2.2 litres 

All solid chemicals should be dissolved in approximately 1.5 litres of deionized water before the addition of the acetic acid. The volume is made up to 2.2 litres in a measuring cylinder, and a sample taken for pH determination. On dilution 1 3 with water a pH 5.20+0.03 should result. 

As mentioned in Section 6.3, trimethyllead was found to be stable in solutions kept at ambient temperature in the dark [118]. Consequently, a batch of solutions containing 40 mg L of trimethyllead chloride (as Pb) and 100 mg L of lead nitrate (as Pb) added as interferent was prepared and the stability was verified over a period of six months. 

High results and small standard deviations obtained by DPASV were questioned. The small standard deviation is inherent to the technique used but interferences and adsorption problems on the Hg drop electrode were suspected, which could explain the higher value found (50.4 pg L ). 

A double peak in the chromatogram was observed for the HRGC-ETAAS technique, eluting at the retention time of inorganic Pb which was not 

A systematic error was suspected in the application of the HPLC-AAS method which could explain higher values found at the 4 pg level (10000 dilution). This error could not be seen at the higher level (1000 dilution). Indeed, in the case of a small systematic error the calibration slope would be the same and standard additions could not correct for non-additive errors. The laboratory mentioned that a hydride generation procedure was successfully used in their laboratory for lead speciation analysis. No interferences were observed between inorganic Pb, MesPbCl and triethyllead using this method. However, this system is still under development and its ruggedness should be further tested. This method was based on earlier work by Blais and Marshall [122]. 

No problems due to interferences from inorganic Pb were mentioned by any of the participants.

Discussion. The hydroxides of sodium, potassium, and barium are generally employed for the preparation of solutions of standard alkalis they are water-soluble strong bases. Solutions made from aqueous ammonia are undesirable, because they tend to lose ammonia, especially if the concentration exceeds 0.5M moreover, it is a weak base, and difficulties arise in titrations with weak acids (compare Section 10.15). Sodium hydroxide is most commonly used because of its cheapness. None of these solid hydroxides can be obtained pure, so that a standard solution cannot be prepared by dissolving a known weight in a definite volume of water. Both sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are extremely hygroscopic a certain amount of alkali carbonate and water are always present. Exact results cannot be obtained in the presence of carbonate with some indicators, and it is therefore necessary to discuss methods for the preparation of carbonate-free alkali solutions. For many purposes sodium hydroxide (which contains 1-2 per cent of sodium carbonate) is sufficiently pure.

The study of carbonate complexes of Pu is complicated by various experimental difficulties. The low solubility of many carbonates (7), leaving a very dilute Pu concentration in solution, results in difficulties to the experiments with electrochemical or spectrophotometric methods. However, the radiometric method with solvent extraction or solubility measurement is easily applicable for the purpose. Unlike the solution with anions, like Cl, N03 etc., the concentration of which can be varied at a constant pH, the preparation of solutions with varying carbonate concentration accompanies indispensably the change of pH of the solution. As a result, the formation of carbonate complexes involves accordingly the hydrolysis reactions of Pu ions in solutions under investigation. It is therefore prerequisite to know the stability constants of Pu(IV) hydroxides prior to the study of its carbonate complexation. 

Preparation Space. The stockroom should have space for preparation of solutions and other items, such as unknowns for courses in qualitative analysis. This requires a regular work bench with sink. There must also be room for prepared solutions to be dispensed to student laboratories in bench-sized bottles, which take up a good deal of space. 

The integral heat of solution can be used to calculate the heating or cooling required in the preparation of solutions, as illustrated in Example 3.5.

Although creating complex ternary and higher-order alloys with specific intermetallic phases was no longer required, the preparation of solutions with potentially harmful constituents was required. 

We will now consider the preparation of solutions. Solutions are prepared for a wide variety of reasons. We have already discussed the use of standard solutions in titrimetric analysis and that these solutions sometimes must be prepared with high precision and accuracy so that their concentrations may be known directly through the preparation process. Even if the need for good precision and accuracy through the preparation is not necessarily important, an analyst frequently prepares other solutions with concentrations known less precisely. Thus the familiarity with solution preparation schemes, highly precise or not, is very important.

Several problems arise in the preparation of solutions in nonaqueous solvents. The large thermal coefficient of expansion of many solvents necessitates the use of weight methods to establish concentrations, with subsequent calculation of molarities from weight concentrations. Also, solutions must be prepared and maintained under strictly anhydrous conditions during the course of the experiment. Further, since the preparation of quantities of highly pure solvent is difficult, the use of minimum amounts is desirable. Finally, salts sometimes dissolve very slowly in certain solvents, which makes efficient stirring to hasten dissolution important. 

Methyl, ethyl and propyl perchlorates, readily formed from the alcohol and anhydrous perchloric acid, are highly explosive oils, sensitive to shock, heat and friction [1], Many of the explosions which have occurred on contact of hydrox-ylic compounds with cone, perchloric acid or anhydrous metal perchlorates are attributable to the formation and decomposition of perchlorate esters [2,3,4], Safe procedures for preparation of solutions of 14 sec-alkyl perchlorates are described. Heated evaporation of solvent caused explosions in all cases [5], l-Chloro-2-propyl, iram-2-chlorocyclohexyl, l-chloro-2-propyl, 1,6-hexanediyl, hexyl, and 2-propyl perchlorates, prepared by a new method, are all explosive oils [6],...

It should be noted here that the variable temperature data presented for Np02 in Fig. 6 are close to those reported by Glebov et al. (43) but that the relaxivities presented in this figure for PuOl are different from those published by these authors (44) (the concentration of the PuO is uncertain in this reference). It has already been mentioned that special care must be taken in the preparation of solutions of plutonyl salts to avoid the presence of lower oxidation states. UV-visible spectroscopy (27) and liquid scintillation detectors (50) are particularly useful to assess the concentration and the nature of Pu species in solution. The purity of the PuO can also be tested by liquid liquid extraction with thenoyltrifluoroacetone, an agent known to be able to extract Pu" " from acidic aqueous phases but unable to extract PuO + (51). 

A reliable procedure for determination of molecular parameters number, weight and z-averages of the molecular weight (Mj, i = n, w and z respectively) for polyethylenes, PE, by means of Size Exclusion Chromatography, SEC, has been developed. The Waters Sci. Ltd. GPC/LC Model 150C was used at 135 C with trichlorobenzene, TCB, as a solvent. The standard samples as well as commercial stabilized and not stabilized PE-resins were evaluated. The effects of sampling, method of solution preparation, addition of antioxidant(s), thermal and shear degradation were studied. The adopted procedure allows reproducible determination of and M , with a random error of 4% and M2, with 9%, within 2 to 72 hrs from the initial moment of preparation of solutions.
