identification |
a:when stongly heated,it assumes a yellow color |
|
that disappears on cooling |
|
b:asolution of it in a slight excess of 3n |
|
hydrochloric acid responds to the tests for |
|
zinc<191> |
alkalinity |
mix 1.0g with 10ml of hot water,add 2 drops of |
|
phenolphthalein ts,and filter;if a red color |
|
is produced.not more than 0.30ml of 0.10 n |
|
hydrochloric acid is required to discharge it |
loss on ignition |
not more than 1.0% |

not more than 6ppm |
carbonate and color of solution |
mix 2.0g with 10ml of water,add 30ml of 2n |
|
sulfuric acid,and heat on a steam bath,with |
|
contant stirring;no effervescence occours |
|
and the resulting solution is clear and colorless |
lead(pb) |
add 2g to 20ml of water ,stir well ,add 5 ml of glacial acetic acid, and warm on a steam bath until solution is effected,the addition of 5 drops of potassium chromate ts produces no turbidity or precipitate |
iron and other heavy metals |
cooled 5ml portions of the solution obtained in the test for carbonate and color of solution yield white precipitates with potassium ferrocyanide ts and with sodium sulfide ts |
assay |
??dissolve about 1.5 g of freshly ignited zinc oxide, accurately weighed, and 2.5 g of ammonium chloride in 50.0 ml of 1 n sulfuric acid vs with the aid of gentle heat, if necessary. when solution is complete, add methyl orange ts, and titrate the excess sulfuric acid with 1 n sodium hydroxide vs. each ml of 1 n sulfuric acid is equivalent to 40.69 mg of zno. |
