To det. F- in sea water, add 8 ml. of the combined La alizarin complexone (I) reagent to 15 ml. filtered sea water; to samples contg. \textless20% Cl- add (0.4-0.02x) ml. 6N HOAc (where x = % Cl- of the water), dil. to 25 ml., and measure the absorbance of the soln. (pH 4.50 ± 0.02) at 622 mμ vs. the reagent blank (8 ml. I + 17 ml. distd. H2O contg. 0.4 ml. 6N HOAc) after 0.5 hr. For waters contg. 15-20% Cl-, multiply the absorbance by 1.040 to correct for salt error. Calibrate the method in the same manner by using 15 ml. vols. of distd. H2O contg. 1, 1.5, and 2 ml. standard NaF soln. (10 γ F-/ml.). Beer's law holds in the 0-25 γ F-/25 ml. concn. range. Prep. I reagent, dissolving 0.0479 g. alizarin complexone (1,2-di-hydroxy-3-anthraquinonyl methylamine-N,N-diacetic acid) in 0.1 ml. concd. aq. NH3 + 1 ml. 20% (wt./vol.) NH4OAc + 2-3 ml. distd. H2O, filter into an aq. soln. of 8.2 g. anhyd. NaOAc + 6 ml. HOAc, add 100 ml. Me2CO slowly, add LaCl3 soln. (from 0.0408 g. La2O3 + 2.5 ml. 2M HCl), and dil. to 200 ml. with H2O. Al+++ (≥2 p.p.m.) and Fe+++ interfere seriously in the detn., forming stable AlF6— and FeF6— compds. To det. F- in fresh nonsaline waters, sep. Al+++ and Fe+++ by extg. a 20-ml. sample + 2 ml. 2M NaOAc + 0.45 ml. 6N HOAc and 1 ml. 20% 8-quino-linol in Me2CO in a continuous extn. app. (CA 53, 21451b) with CHCl3. F- is detd. as above by using 20-50-ml. aliquots of extd. water. Me2CO in I increases the sensitivity of the method to 0.0018 γ/ml. F-. Replicate detns. (11) on a sea water by the method gave an av. of 1.371 γ/ml. F- with a coeff. of variation of 0.28%. [on SciFinder(R)]
