Monitoring (7)Be and tritium in rainwater in Daejeon, Korea and its significance

Abstract:
We investigated the concentrations of beryllium-7 and tritium in rainwater along with sodium concentration in the region of Daejeon, Korea for 7 months. The results demonstrate that (7)Be in rainwater is inversely proportional to the amount of sodium present and proportional to the rainfall. Also, it was observed that tritium reaches ground level about a month later than (7)Be. This study will guide prospective geological research applications associated with cosmogenic nuclides especially in rainwater for the Korean region.

In argentometric precipitation titrations, endpoints can be detected visually by the Mohr, Volhard, and Fajans methods. In the Mohr method, adding a soluble chromate indicator gives an initial yellow color to the analyte solution. As the titrant is added, the first excess of silver ions forms a red silver chromate precipitate, marking the endpoint. The solution pH should be maintained at about 8 by adding solid CaCO3.

Precipitation and coprecipitation methods can be used to separate a mixture of ions in a solution. In qualitative inorganic analysis, ions that form sparingly soluble precipitates with the same reagent are separated based on the differences in solubility products. For example, consider the separation of Cu(II) and Fe(II) ions by precipitation as insoluble sulfides. First, copper(II) sulfide is precipitated by the addition of acidic H2S, where the dissociation of H2S is suppressed. Adding H2S...
