Check the pH of the
sample, specified range:
pH 0 – 10.
If required, add dilute
sulfuric acid drop by
drop to adjust the pH.
Pipette 5.0 ml of the
sample into a reaction
cell, close with the screw
cap, and mix.
Add 5 drops of P-2K,
close the cell with the
screw cap, and mix.
Shake the cell vigorous-
ly to dissolve the solid
substance.
