| Abstract: | Abstract A kinetic method for nitrite determination in solution is described. The method is based on the Griess reaction and the stopped-flow technique. The time between two preset levels of the output signal is used as a measure of the nitrite concentration. The determination involves only one step and is independet on the background absorption of the reagents. The working curve can be made with only 2 or 3 points. No blank value is shown. The method can be applied to dilute or(more) concentrated nitrite solutions by appropriate change of their pH. Concentrations as low as 1.10?6M NO2 ? can be determined. |
