acid digestion with molybdenum as a catalyst has been used for the determination of phosphorus (3, 4). This method has been successfully applied to the determination of chromic oxide. Preparation of oxidizing reagent: Dissolve 10 g sodium molybdate in 150 ml distilled water. Add slowly 150 ml concentrated sulfuric acid. Cool. Add 200 ml perchloric acid (70-72%) and mix thoroughly.Analytical procedure: Transfer 100-500 mg sam-ple containing 1-5% Cr2O3 which has been ground through a 40-mesh sieve to a dry 100-ml Kjeldahl flask, calibrated to 110 or 100 ml. Add 5 ml of the oxi-dizing reagent in such a manner that it will wash any adhering particles down the side of the flask. Heat flask over microburner which has had the holes in the asbestos board enlarged so as to allow more heat to come in contact with the flask. Oxidation will begin in 1 or 2 min. Allow the sample to digest until a clear digestion mixture is obtained. In the oxidation of some samples, black particles adhere to the neck and sides of the flask. In these cases turn flask 1800, allowing the samples to digest 2 or 3 min longer. Turn off the burner and add 2 ml perchloric acid (70-72%) to the digestion mixture and then reheat. Cool slightly and add 50 ml distilled water. Cool to room temperature and make up to volume in the calibrated Kjeldahl flask, and let flask stand a few minutesto allow silica to settle. Transfersolution gently from the Kjeldahl flask to a colorimetric tube, and read (440 g filter) against distilled water set at 100. Prepare a standard curve byoxidizing a known amount of chromic oxide (Cr2O3) which isto be used as a reference substance. Dilute contents to a definite volume with distilled water. Take different aliquots of this solution and dilute with distilled water to give different concentrations of chromic oxide within 10-120 pg/ml when the Evelyn Photoelectric Colorimeter is used.
