FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized bythe Inorganic Chemicals and Photographic Materials Sectional Committee had been approved by the ChemicalDivision Council.

This standard was first published in 1950 and first revised in 1968. It was again revised in 1976 to incorporate anew grade for explosives and pure grade was modified to chemically pure grade. New requirements for iron,manganese, phosphate and silicate for analytical reagent and ammonium salts for technical grade were included.The requirement for specific gravity was deleted but a correlation table for relative density and percent by mass ofnitric acid was also incorporated (see Annex P).

In this revision, with a view to harmonize Indian Standard with 1S0 Standard, potentiometric method for chlorides,reduction and titrimetry method for sulphates and spectrophotometric method for ammonium salts have beenincorporated.

For general information regarding precautions to be observed in the safe handling and use of nitric acid referencemay be made to IS 4560: 1968 ‘Code of safety for nitric acid’.

In preparation of this standard reference has been made to the following :

ISO 1980:1977 Nitric acid for industrial use — Determination of total acidity — Titrimetricmethod

1S0 1981:1971 Nitric acid for industrial use — Determination of nitrous compounds —Titrimetric method

ISO/R 1982:1971 Nitric acid for industrial use — Determination of iron content — 2, 2’-Bipyridylphotometric method

The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex Q.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the finalvalue, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with1S2:1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revise@’. The number of significant places retained in therounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

bottle isusedfor weighing the sample, accuratelyweigh about 2 g of the material.

If a glass arnpoule is used, take sufficient amount ofthe sample in a beaker or flask. Slightly heat on a flamethe bulb of the glass arnpoule previously weighed tothe nearest 0.1 mg. Immerse the capillary end of theampoule into the beaker or flask containing the testsample and ensure that during cooling the bulb is almosthalf-filled (2 ml approximately). Withdraw the ampouleand carefully wipe the capillary end with filter paper.Seal the capillary end in an oxidizing flame, withoutloss of glass. Remove from the flame and allow to cool.Wash the capillary and wipe carefilly with filter paper.Weigh the ampoule to the nearest 0.1 mg and calculateby difference the mass of the test portion.

A-4.2 If the sample was weighed in the Lunge-Reypipette or a weighing bottle, transfer the sample to astoppered conical flask containing 100 ml of cold waterand 50 ml of standard sodium hydroxide solution.

If the sample was weighed in the ampoule, place thearnpoule in the conical flask containing 100ml of waterand 50 ml of sodium hydroxide solution. Stopper theflask and while cooling, shake carefhlly to break theampoule containing the test portion. Keep cooling and

shaking until the vapours are completely absorbed.Remove the stopper and rinse it with water, collectingthe washings in the conical flask. By means of a glassrod, break up the fragments of the ampoule and inparticular the capillary which may have remained intactin spite of shaking. Withdraw the glass rod and wash itwith water, collecting the washings in the conical flask.

Carry out a blank test simultaneously.

Add to the test portion (see C-3.4.2.1) in the beaker,5 ml of the nitric acid solution, 120 ml of the acetoneand sufllcient water to bring the total volume to about150 ml.

NOTE — For test potiions of 50 g the final volume of thesolution is about 160 ml. It is therefore not necessary to addwater. The ratio of acetone/water is still frwourablearsdpermitsa satisfactory titration.

Introduce the rod of the magnetic stirrer into the beaker,place the beaker on the stirrer and set the stirrer inmotion. Immerse the silver electrode and the free endof the bridge in the solution, connect the electrodes tothe potenthmeter and, after having verified the zeroof the apparatus, note the value of the startingpotential,

Add 0.5 g of sodium chlorideand evaporate the contents almost to dryness on awater-bath. Add 5 ml of hydrochloric acid and transferthe contents to a 250-ml beaker using 100 ml of water.Bring the contents to boil over a low flame and, while

still hot, add 5 ml of boiling barium chloride solutionin slow stream, stirring all the time. Boil the contentsfor 2 min and allow the precipitate to settle for 4 h,Filter the supematant liquid through a tared sinteredglass crucible (G No. 4) or tared Gooch crucible andtransfer the precipitate carefully into the crucible.Wash thoroughly with hot water till the washings arefree from chloride.

Fitthe reflux condenser to the flask and, while bubblinga gentle current of nitrogen through the mixture, boilunder reflux for 4 h. Then cool to room temperature,maintaining the current of nitrogen. Store the solutionin a dark glass flask, previously purged with nitrogen,fitted with a ground glass stopper.

Then introduce, with stirring,a solution of 120 g of sodium hydroxide in 250 ml ofwater and make up to 1 000 ml with distilled water.Add a little more mercuric chloride solution until thereis a permanent turbidity. Allow the mixture to standfor 1 day and decant. Keep the solution stoppered in adark coloured bottle.

Apparatus for heating the flask.

M-3.3.1.2 Precautions to be taken before, during andafler use

The apparatus should be tightly sealed; ensure thatthe ground glass joints are not too close to the sourceof heat. When the apparatus is exposed to thelaboratory atmosphere, its wall can absorb traces ofammoniacal nitrogen which are not removed by rinsingwith water. It is essential to wash the apparatus bycarrying out one or two blank distillations in thepresence of sodium hydroxide solution.

After this distillation, and between tests, keep theapparatus sealed from the laboratory atmosphere. Keepthe dropping funnel sealed and the end of the deliverytube dipped in water or dilute acid.

Transfer the test portion(see M-3.4.1) to the distillation flask (B), washing thebeaker thoroughly with water and collecting thewashings in the distillation flask. The final volume ofthe solution should be about 100 ml. Add several dropsof the phenolphthalein solution and connect the flaskto the distillation apparatus. Neutralize the test solution,stirring continuously, with the sodium hydroxidesolution (see M-3.2. 1) added through the droppingfunnel. Add 50 ml in excess of the sodium hydroxidesolution and the quantity of water necessary to attain avolume of about 300 ml. During these additions, ensurethat severaldrops of solution remain above the stopcockas a seal. Close the fhnnel with its bung. Warm the flaskto the commencement of boiling and distil in a currentof steam, controlled to give a drop-by-drop rate ofdelivery into the conical flask, until a volume of about150 ml has collected. Thoroughly wash the end of thecondenser with water, collecting the washings in theconical flask.
