The amount of chlorine (X), expressed as % sodium chloride is calculated by using the following formula:

X=5,845×V1−V2m

where:

V1

  • ml of silver nitrate solution 0,1 mol/l added

    • V2

  • ml of ammonium thiocyanate solution 0,1 mol/l used for titration

    • m

  • weight of sample.

    • If the blank test indicates that silver nitrate solution 0,1 mol/l has been consumed deduct this value from the volume (V1 – V2).
