Preparation: since this salt is hygroscopic and cannot be dried without risk of decomposition, it is advisable to weigh out approximately 9 g, dissolve in water and make up the volume to one litre. Standardise by titration against 0.1 M silver nitrate solution.
4.6
Potassium chloride solution: Dissolve 2.103 g of potassium chloride, previously dried at 130°C, for one hour, in water and make up to 500 ml.
