Spectrophotometric Determination of Copper(II) as the Azide Complexes,in the Presence of Iron(III) Cations

Abstract

A method for the spectrophotometrio determination of copper(II), in the presence of iron(III) cations (excess), was stablished. The masking of iron is made with sodium fluoride salt in 50 % (v/v) water/acetone medium. In the recommended conditions, absorbances for cupric complexes are measured at 435 nm where molar absorptivity is 6.00 × 10³ 1 mol^?1 cm^?1.

The stable ayetern obeys Beer's law and is suitable for the copper determination in concentration range from 2.0 to 9.0 mg 1^?l. The iron(III) ion interference (until ca. 600 mg 1^?l) can be completely suppressed. The influence of diverse ions and several others factore were studied.

The results show that copper(II) can be accurately determined by azide apectrophotometric method, if the samples were suitablely treated by the recommended procedure.

ABSTRACT

The complex equilibria of iron(III) with 2-hydroxy-3-pyridinol (HHP), and 2-mercapto-3-pyridinol (MHP) were studied spectrophotometrically in 40% (v/v) ethanol and an ionic strength of 0.1M (NaCIO₄). The complexation reactions were demonstrated and characterized using graphical logarithmic analysis of the absorbance pH-graphs. After considering all the different parameters a simple, rapid, sensitive and selective method for spectrophotometric determination of trace levels of iron(III) was proposed based on the formation of (Fe -MHP) complex at pH 2.5 (λ_max = 640 nm, ? = l×10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?). The interference of a large number of foreign ions was investigated. The method has been applied successfully for the determination of iron content in some multivitamins with mineral preparations and infant milk products.

Abstract

A flow-injection configuration for the spectrophotometric determination of oxalate, citrate and tartrate is proposed. The procedure is based on the photochemical decomposition of the complexes formed between iron(III) and these anions. The iron(II) produced in the photochemical reactions was detected by measuring the absorbance after complexation with ferrozine (λ_max=562 nm). Linear calibration graphs were obtained over the concentration ranges 5.0 × 10^?6 - 1.0 × 10^?4 M, 8 × 10^?6 - 1.8 × 10^?4 M and 1.0 × 10^?6 - 2 × 10^?5 M for oxalate, citrate and tartrate, respectively. The relative standard deviations at the 1x10^?5 M concentration level were within the range 1.29 - 1.47 %. The sampling frequency was about 40 samples h^?1. The usefulness of the method was tested in the determination of oxalate in urine and spinach, of citrate in pharmaceuticals and soft drinks and of tartrate in pharmaceuticals. For the determination of oxalate in urine samples a prior separation of the analyte by precipitation with calcium chloride is recommended.

A novel, sensitive and selective adsorptive stripping procedure for simultaneous determination of iron, copper and cadmium is presented. The method is based on the adsorptive accumulation of thymolphthalexone (TPN) complexes of these elements onto a hanging mercury drop electrode, followed by reduction of adsorbed species by voltammetric scan using differential pulse modulation.

A New Spectrophotometric Method for the Determination of Arsenic in Environmental and Biological Samples

Abstract

A simple and selective spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of trace amounts of arsenic using azure B as a chromogenic reagent. The proposed method is based on the reaction of arsenic(III) with potassium iodate in acid medium to liberate iodine. The liberated iodine bleaches the violet color of azure B and is measured at 644 nm. This decrease in absorbance is directly proportional to the As(III) concentration, and Beer's law is obeyed in the range 0.2–10 µg ml^?1 of As(III). The molar absorptivity, Sandell's sensitivity, detection limit, and quantitation limit of the method were found to be 1.12×10⁴ l mol^?1cm^?1, 6.71×10^?3 µg cm^?2, 0.02 µg ml^?1 and 0.08 µg ml^?1, respectively. The optimum reaction conditions and other analytical parameters were evaluated. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the determination of arsenic in various environmental and biological samples.
