Cyanide–1
waters, solids,
strong acid
dissociable (SAD),
total cyanide
Add 1.5 mL or 1.55 g of 1.00 M
standardized NaOH solution to each tube.
When diluted to 6.0 mL, this gives 0.25 M
NaOH. Other standardized concentrations
can be used by adjusting the amount
added to each tube.

Cyanide–2
caustic extracts,
SAD, total cyanide
Add 1.5 mL or 1.55 g of 1.00 M
standardized NaOH solution. When
diluted to 6.0 mL, this gives 0.25 M
NaOH. Other standardized concentrations
can be used by adjusting the amount
added to each tube.

Cyanide–3
waters, solids,
weak acid
dissociable (WAD)
Add 1.5 mL or 1.55 g of 0.1.00 M
standardized NaOH solution. When
diluted to 6.0 mL, this gives 0.25 M
NaOH. Other standardized concentrations
can be used by adjusting the amount
added to each tube.

Cyanide–5
waters, solids,
SAD (total cyanide)
in the presence
of sulfide
Dissolve 0.80 g PbCO3 in 1 L of 1.00 M
standardized NaOH solution. Then, add
1.5 mL or 1.55 g of this solution to each
tube. When diluted to 6.0 mL, this gives
0.25 M NaOH and 0.8 mM Pb. Other
standardized NaOH concentrations can
be used by adjusting the amount added to
each tube.

waters, iodometric
determination
Prepare a 0.043 M zinc acetate solution
by dissolving the following: 8.78 g zinc
acetate dihydrate, 0.10 g conc. HCl, 880.0
g deionized water, and 43.2 g of a 37%
formaldehyde solution. Mix well until
dissolved.Add 2.0 mL or 2.0 g of the zinc
acetate solution to each tube.

waters/MTB
colorimetric
determination
Add 1.5 mL or 1.55 g of 1.00 M
standardized NaOH solution. When
diluted to 6.0 mL, this gives 0.25 M NaOH.
Other standardized concentrations can be
used by adjusting the amount.

Ammonia–1
waters, phenate
colorimetric or
ISE determination
Add 1.0 mL or 1.0 g of standardized
0.016 M sulfuric acid solution. When
diluted to 6.0 mL, this gives 0.003 M
sulfuric acid. Other standardized
concentrations can be used by adjusting
the amount.

Prepare a 0.13 M boric acid solution by
dissolving 8.0 g boric acid in 995.0 g
deionized water. Add 2.0 mL or 2.0 g of
this boric acid solution to each tube.
