Abstract
A method is described for the photometric determination of amounts of calcium ranging from 0.04 to 0.16 mgm. The calcium is precipitated as the oxalate. The latter is converted to the carbonate by heating at 475° to 500 °C. for one hour. The carbonate is dissolved in 1 ml. of 0.01 N hydrochloric acid. The excess acid is allowed to liberate iodine by reacting with potassium iodate and potassium iodide. The absorption of the iodine solution is measured by use of an Evelyn colorimeter, and the calcium originally present in the sample is determined from calibration data.Keywords
