Should be simple, but I always have trouble with this type of calculation. The CRA method for the determination of SO2 has the calculation for the amount of SO2 (in ppm) as :
Net Titer x N Iodine solution x 0.032 x 106
Sample Weight
A method probably drawn from this has shortened the equation to Net titer x 64, because they are using 0.02N iodine. Since the method spells out mixing 30 grams of starch in 150 mL of water, filtering and using 50mL of filtrate
I'm thinking that the equation is really:
Net Titer x 0.02 x 0.032 x 106
(30/150) x 50
But what if I already have the starch in slurry form. I filter it and use 50 mL of filtrate. What is my sample weight really? If I weigh out 200 grams of slurry is the equation:
Net Titer x 0.02 x 0.032 x 106
(50/100)
That doesn't seem right. Can anyone help me fix this?
