Paragraph 4 REAGENTS
Hydrochloric acid solution, about 6 M
See Method 25d (4.1).
Hydrochloric acid solution, about 0.5 M
See Method 25d (4.2).
Lanthanum salt solutions (10 g of La per litre)
See Method 25d (4.3).
Manganese calibration solutions
Manganese stock solution (1000 μg/ml)
In a 250 ml beaker, weigh to the nearest 0.1 mg, 1 g of manganese, add 25 ml of 6 M hydrochloric acid solution (4.1). Heat on a hot plate until the manganese is completely dissolved. When cool, transfer quantitatively to a 1000 ml volumetric flask. Make up to volume with water and mix thoroughly.
Manganese working solution (100 μg/ml)
Place 20 ml of the stock solution (4.4.1) in a 200 ml volumetric flask. Make up to volume with the 0.5 M hydrochloric acid solution (4.2) and mix thoroughly.
