Abstract

A simple, sensitive, and rapid Spectrophotometric method for the trace determination of aniline in aqueous solution is described. The method is based on coupling aniline with diazotizedp-nitroaniline in the presence of ethanol and sodium hydroxide to form an intense red water-soluble azo-dye which shows maximum absorption at 505 nm and greater stability and sensitivity in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. Beer's law is obeyed over the aniline concentration range 0.2–2.4μg/ml in the solution measured; the molar absorptivity is 3.46×104l· mole−1·cm−1, and the relative standard deviation 1–2%, depending on the aniline concentration.
