Abstract:
A novel and simple spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of nitrite in water by using the self-coupling diazotization reagent 2-amino-6-chlorobenzoic acid and UV light illumination. The method only involves one reagent and one step, which can be easily applied to the determination of nitrite and tolerates many foreign anions' effects under acidic conditions.

States of Water
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...
Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
