Conclusions
-
1.
The oxidation wave on the polarograms of nitrites in protic and aprotic organic media is due to enhancement of the process of ionization of mercury on account of combination of Hg2+ ions into a complex with NO2 − ions. The number of ligands in the complex is two.
-
2.
In principle, it is possible to make a quantitative determination of NO2 − ions in nonaqueous protic or aprotic solvents.
