A simple, precise, inexpensive and reproducible spectrophotometric method was investigated for the determination of chromium ion (III) in aqueous media, this method based on the formation of a complex between chromium ion (III) and ninhydrin, a deep greenish-violet colored product in the presence of potassium hydroxide was obtained. The absorption of this product was measured at λ max = 375 nm. The reaction proceeds quantitatively at room temperature. The linear calibration curve was constructed over range of (4.8 × 10 −4 -1.6 × 10 −2 ) mol/L of chromium ions with molar absorptivity of 2.90 × 10 2 and correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.9989. The calculated Sandell's sensitivity value is 0.179 µg/cm 2 , the limits of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) are found to be 3.74 × 10 −5 and 1.24 × 10 −4 mol/L, respectively. The method was successfully applied for determination of the chromium ion in aqueous solution. The stoichiometry of the reactions was determined molar combining ratio of 1:2 between chromium and ninhydrin.
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.
