Abstract:
1-(2',3'-Dihydroxypyridyl-4'-azo)benzene-4-sulphonic acid and the corresponding 5'-chloro-substituted acid are proposed as sensitive reagents for zinc. Cyanide masking and selective demasking of zinc can be used to deal with the interference of many metal ions, cadmium can be masked with semithiocarbazide, and thiosulphate can be used for masking Hg(II), Pd(II) and Os(VIII). The molar absorptivities are about 1.3 x 10(5) 1.mole(-1).cm(-1). The method has been used for determinating zinc in milk.
