The replicate analysis is
identical to the first
calibration.
Upon completion of the
analysis, and acceptance of
the data, subsequent replicate
analyses can be performed if
desired.

the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific reagent(s) information.
The 0.0282 N Iodine solution is standardized by titrating it against 0.1000 N Arsenite
Standard Solution. The Iodine calibration procedure embedded in the AutoCAT 9000 is
adapted from procedure 4500-Cl C. g. in "Standard Methods for Examination of Water
and Wastewater" (20th Edition).
A calibration sample is prepared by adding 1.00 mL of standard 0.1000 N Arsenite
solution and 4.0 g sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO
water. The calibration sample is then titrated against the Iodine titrant. The embedded
procedure calls for a 3.4-mL predose prior to titration. The titration end point is around
3.5 mL using the embedded method as defined. Perform a back titration to an
amperometric end point.
