Abstract:
An experimental study has been performed to determine the factors affecting the stability of hydrogen sulfide calibration mixtures at concentrations below 1 ppm. Quantitative data was obtained that illustrates that material selection and surface treatment are major factors affecting the shelf life of low concentration reactive gas mixtures. With the proper material selection and surface treatment, hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide standard mixtures on the order of 50-100 ppb can be maintained for at least 18 months.

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

Potentiometry: Types of Electrodes
The Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE) is a widely used reference electrode that maintains zero potential across all temperatures. However, its need for a continuous hydrogen gas supply renders it impractical for everyday use.
An alternative to SHE is the Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). This electrode features an...
Titration of Polyprotic Base with a Strong Acid
Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
