PROCEDURE
.
1. Rinse test tube (0715) with sample water. Fill with desired sample size selected
from table.
SAMPLE
SIZE
25 mL 1 drop = 2 ppm
10 mL 1 drop = 5 ppm
5 mL 1 drop = 10 ppm
2. Add 1 drop of *Phenolphthalein Indicator, 0.5% (2258). Swirl to mix. If pink, use
the 0.1g spoon (0699) to add *Starch Acid Indicator Powder (6385), one spoonful
at a time, swirling after each spoonful, until pink color disappears. If solution is
colorless, proceed to Step 3.
3. Use the 0.1g spoon (0699) to add 1 spoonful of *Starch Acid Indicator Powder

EQUIVALENCE
(ppm Per Drop)

4. While gently swirling tube, add Iodide Iodate (2779WT), one drop at a time, until
solution turns blue. Count the number of drops added. Hold dropper bottle vertically.
5. Multiply number of drops used in Step 4 as follows:
25 mL sample multiply by 2
10 mL sample multiply by 5
5 mL sample multiply by 10
Record as ppm Sulfi te (SO
).
