with water, add 0.05 mL of 0.025 M ferroin indicator solution, and titrate with 0.1 N ferrous ammonium sulfate to the red end point. One milliliter of 0.1 N ferrous ammonium sulfate corresponds to 0.06326 g of (NH4)4Ce(SO4)4 · 2H2O.

Insoluble in Dilute Sulfuric Acid To 2.5 g, add 5 mL of sulfuric acid, stir, and then cautiously add 90 mL of water to dissolve. Heat to boiling, and digest on a hot plate (~100 °C) for 1 h. Filter through a tared filtering crucible, and wash thoroughly, first with 2% sulfuric acid, then with water. Dry at 105 °C.

Phosphate [Part 2: Colorimetry and Turbidimetry; Phosphate; Procedure for Phosphate, Method 2 (Extracted Molybdenum Blue)]. Dissolve 0.75 g by adding 1 mL of sulfuric acid and stirring in 30 mL of water. Add hydrogen peroxide dropwise until just colorless, boil to destroy the excess peroxide, cool, and dilute to 50 mL. Dilute a 2 mL aliquot to 60 mL, and adjust the pH to between 2 and 3 (using pH paper) with ammonium hydroxide. Note: This neutralization must avoid the formation of a precipitate, which would void the test.

Add 0.5 g of ammonium molybdate, and adjust the pH to 1.8 (using a pH meter) with 10% hydrochloric acid. Heat to boiling and cool to room temperature. Dilute with water to 90 mL, add 10 mL of hydrochloric acid, and continue as described. Carry along a standard containing 0.01 mg of phosphate ion (PO4) in 2.0 mL of sulfuric acid (1:29) treated as the 2.0 mL aliquot of the sample.

Iron [Part 2: Colorimetry and Turbidimetry; Iron; Procedure for Iron, Method 2 (Hydroxylamine and 1,10-Phenanthroline)]. Dissolve 1 g by adding 2 mL of sulfuric acid and stirring in 30 mL of water. Add dropwise 3% hydrogen peroxide until the color disappears. For the standard, add 0.1 mg of iron to 30 mL of water containing 2 mL of sulfuric acid and the same volume of hydrogen peroxide used in the test. Dilute the standard and sample each to 100 mL, and use 10 mL aliquots.
