Doc No : 001

Equipment: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Buret 25 ml Erlenmeyer 100 ml Erlenmeyer 250 ml Pipette Volume 50 ml Measurement Cylinder 10 ml

Chemical Reagant: 1. 1.733 g/l and 0.1733 g/l AgNO3 2. Distilled Water 3. Rhodanine Indicator 0.2% ( in Acetone) Safety: 1. 2. 3. 4. Latex Gloves Mask Safety glass Safety shoes

During process to preparation the samples, USE SAFETY GEAR. Procedure: A. NaCN Titration High concentration 1. Clean and fill burette with AgNO3 (1.733 g/L). 2. Take sample of solution (10ml) and mix with 3 drop of Rhodnine indicator solution. Solution will produce yellowish color. 3. Titrate with AgNO3 until solution turn a pinky purpie color. 4. Read scale on burette and calculate using the following formula:

Na CN {ppm} = (Vol of AgNO3 titre 1000) Vol. of sample

B. NaCN Titration Low Concentration 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Use lower strength AgNO3 solution (0.1733 g/L). Take 100 ml for titration and mix with 3 drops of Rhodanine solution . Solution will produce yellowish color Titrate with AgNO3 until solution turn a pinky purpie color. Measure level the burette From titre volume calculate ppm as follow : NaCN (ppm) = (Vol of AgNO3 titre 100) Vol of sample
