A spectrophotometric method for the analysis of iron has a linear calibration curve for standards of 0.00, 5.00, 10.00, 15.00, and 20.00 ppm. An iron ore sample with an expected iron content of 40–60% w/w is to be analyzed by this method. An approximately 0.5-g sample is taken, dissolved in a minimum of concentrated HCl, and diluted to 1 L in a volumetric flask using distilled water. A 5.00-mL aliquot is removed with a pipet. To what volume (10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1000 mL) should it be diluted to minimize the uncertainty in the analysis? Explain.

A 0.9352g sample of ore containing Fe³+, Al³+ and Sr²+ was dissolved and made up to 500.00 mL. The analysis of metals was performed using complexation volumetry. Initially, an aliquot of 50.00 mL had its pH adjusted to 1.0 and titrated with a standard 0.03145 mol/L EDTA solution, requiring 6.95 mL to reach the end point. Subsequently, another 25.00 mL aliquot was buffered at pH=5 and titrated with the same EDTA solution, requiring 6.24 mL to reach the end point.

Gold can be determined in solutions containing high concentrations of diverse ions by ICP. Aliquots of 50.0 mL of the sample solution were transferred to each of four 100.0 mL volumetric flasks. A solution was prepared containing 10.0 mg/L Au in 20% H2SO4, and quantities of this solutions were added to the sample solution to give 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/L added Au in each of the flask.

The nitric acid was removed and solids were treated in hot water with added nitric acid. Insoluble solids were removed by gravity filtration. The solution was made basic by the slow addition of dilute ammonia forming the gelatinous precipitate (Al(OH), and Al,O,.x H2O).
