The influences of conditions such as the reduction acidity, dosage of sodium hypophosphite and reduction time on the determination of Ge were studied. Comparison was made between the influences of end-point indication for potential method and starch method on accruracy and precision of the analysed results, stability and sensitivity of end-point, selectivity of method and so on. The possibility of reaction in an electrochemical way was discussed. Ge in the alloys such as AuGe 12 , AuGeNi 12 2 , AuAgGe 18.8 12.5 and AuAgGeNi 43.8 6 0.2 was measured, respectively, with the relative standard deviation of 0.10%~0.31% and the recoveries of added standard Ge in sample of 99.40%～100.40% when the reduction acidity was 0.40~0.80 mol/L HCl and 3.3 mol/L H 3 PO 4, 15 g sodium hypophosphite and reduction time 40 min. The new method presented is high accuracy and precision in results, good stability and sensibility in end point, easy operation and strong selectivity of determination. When it is applied to analyse actual samples, satisfactory results are achieved.展开更多

Potentiometric titrations of poly (2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP), poly (3-vinylpyridine) (P3VP), and poly (4-vinylpydine) (P4VP) were performed using HBr, HCl, HNO<sub>3</sub>, and HClO<sub>4</sub> in both the presence and absence of added NaCl. Because of the systematic differences among the three polyelectrolytes, titration results provide insight into the role of polymer structure in the relative extents to which various counterions bind. Titration data reveal that ionization properties vary as functions of polymer investigated, titrant used, degree of protonation, and added salt concentration. Acid dissociation constants of the pyridinium moieties were found to generally increase with increasing degree of protonation, though appreciable differences were exhibited among the three polymers investigated. For all three polymers, Cl<sup>-</sup> demonstrated the lowest affinity for the charged pyridinium residues, while the affinities associated with Br<sup>-</sup> and NO<sup>-</sup>3</sub> were nearly identical to each other. The relative extent of binding for CIO<sup>-</sup>4</sub> varied across the polymers investigated, and was greatest for P4VP.展开更多

Roots surface charge markedly varies at different rizosphere conditions (particularly pH and ionic strength), which can markedly alter during vegetation season. Among recently available measuring methods, surface charge-pH dependence of roots (as well as other biological objects) is most easily evaluated by potentiometric titration. Use of this method is also easy at different ionic strengths. Potentiometric titration also allows for estimation of the distribution of charge generating surface groups. However, many applications of this method seem to be based either on incorrect methodical or theoretical approaches. In this paper we discuss the methodical and theoretical backgrounds of the titration method. Basing on experimental titration curves of roots of barley grown in nutrient solution, we show inconsistency of surface charge results obtained at different measuring conditions. Limitations of theoretical interpretations of the results are outlined also.展开更多
