A new kinetic method is described for the determination of ultramicro amounts of Cu(II) based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of trisodium-2-hydroxy 1-(4-sulphonato-1-naphthylazo)naphthalene-6,8-disulphonato (red artificial color PONCEAU 4R) by hydrogen peroxide in borate buffer (B.B). The detection limit given by Perez-Bendito is 0.8 ng/cm3, but the detection limit that we experimentaly determined is 3.8 ng/cm3. The relative error ranges between 7.77 and 2.09%for the concentration interval 3.8 to 50.1 ng/cm3. Kinetic equations are proposed for the investigated process. The effects of certain foreign ions upon the reaction rate were determined for an assessment of the selectivity of the method. The method was applied for the determination of Cu(II) ions in samples of alloy.
Anew, sensitive and simple kinetic method has been developed for the determination of traces of Co(II) ions based on their catalytic effect in the oxidation of trisodium-2-hydroxy-1-(4-sulphonato-1-naphthylazo)naphthalene-6,8-disulphonate (red artificial color Ponceau 4R) by hydrogen peroxide in borate buffer. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by tracing the oxidation product at 478.4 nm within 1 min after the initiation of the reaction. The optimum reaction conditions are: borate buffer (pH 10.50), Ponceau 4R (8 x10-6 mol/dm3), H2O2 (3 x10-2 mol/dm3) at 22 ?C. Following this procedure, Co(II) can be determined with a linear calibration graph up to 1.17 ng/cm3 and a detection limit of 0.20, based on the 3??criterion. The relative error ranges between 4.80-3.25 % for the concentration interval of Co(II) ions 1.76-17.61 ng/cm3. The effects of certain foreign ions on the reaction rate were determined for an assessment of the selectivity of the method. The method was applied for the determination of Co(II) in pharmaceutical samples.
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.
