AMMONIA SOLUTION: Determination of Residue on Evaporation in Anhydrous Ammonia
WARNING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
AMMONIS SOLUTION: SPLASHES INT0 EYES CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. AVOID INGESTION. PRESSURE MAY BUILD UP IN CLOSED CONTAINERS.
1 SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
This method is suitable for the determination of the residue left after evaporation i.e., the non-volatile material in ammonia solution.
2 PRINCIPLE
A known weight of sample is evaporated to dryness in a platinum dish on a steam bath. The increase in mass of the dish is measured.
3 APPARATUS
Normal laboratory apparatus and:
3.1 Platinum evaporation dish.
3.2 Muffle furnace capable of operating at 1000°C.
3.3 Steam bath.

4 PROCEDURE
Ignite a large platinum dish (3.1) in a Muffle furnace (3.2) at about 900°C for a few minutes, allow to cool thoroughly in a desiccator and weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg.
Weigh approximately 200 g sample into the platinum dish and evaporate on a steam bath (3.3).
Remove the dish from the steam bath and dry for 30 minutes in a suitable oven at 100 + 2°C. Cool thoroughly in a desiccator and reweigh to the nearest 0.1 mg; reserve for the Residue on Ignition test.
5.1 Expression of Results
Let w g - increase in mass of platinum dish.
