Summary

A spectrophotometric kinetic method is described for the ultramicrodetermination of chromium (III) and osmium (VIII) based on their promoting and catalytic effect respectively on the periodate — arsenite reaction. For chromium(III) determination the decrease in absorbance within a fixed period of time is related directly to the chromium concentration. For osmium (VIII) determination the time required for the reaction to consume a fixed amount of periodate is measured automatically and related directly to the osmium concentration. Ultramicroamounts of chromium(III) in the 10−6–10−5 M level and of osmium(VIII) in the 10−8–10−7 M level were determined with a mean error of about 2%. The method has been applied to the determination of chromium in chrome ores.

Zusammenfassung

Eine kinetische Methode zur Ultramikrobestimmung von Chrom(III) und Osmium(VIII) auf der Grundlage ihrer beschleunigenden bzw. katalytischen Wirkung auf die Perjodat-Arsenit-Reaktion wurde beschrieben. Für Chrom dient die Abnahme der Extinktion innerhalb einer bestimmten Zeitspanne als Maß der Konzentration. Bei der Bestimmung von Osmium(VIII) wird die Zeit für den Verbrauch einer bestimmten Menge Perjodat automatisch gemessen. Sie entspricht direkt der Osmiumkonzentration. Ultramikromengen Cr(III) in der Größenordnung 10−6–10−5 M und Os(VIII) in der Größenordnung 10−8–10−7 M sind mit einem Fehler von ungefähr 2% bestimmbar. Die Methode wurde zur Chrombestimmung in Erzen angewendet.
