ANALYSIS FOR SODIUM THIOCYANATE NEEDED





IS THERE AN EASIER WAY TO DO ANALYSIS FOR sodium thiocyanate [affil link] THAN WHAT OUR LAB DOES. OUR ANALYSIS: 10ML SAMPLE OF BATH; 100ML DI WATER; 15ML 20% H2SO4; 1-2ML SATURATED FERROUS AMMONIUM sulphate; TITRATE WITH 0.1N AGNO3 UNTIL RED COLOR HAS TURNED TO A WHITE ENDPOINT. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS THERE IS NO VISIBLE ENDPOINT?

The first guess is inadequate agitation. Are you using a spin bar?

I believe what you need as indicator is ferric ammonium sulphate, not ferrous ammonium sulphate. Double check your procedure.

I don't know of another method, but we use the absence of red as the endpoint.
