A coulometric titration of fluoride ion has been developed in which the supporting electrolyte consists of a sodium perchlorate solution in acetic anhydride containing a small amount of acetic acid. The fluoride is titrated as a base in this solvent with an accuracy of 2 to 3 parts per thousand. Perchloric acid is generated with 1 00% titration efficiency at a mercury
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
