Conditions:

Room Temp: 25 - 35 °C

Compilers:

Z. Maczynska, A. Maczynski, A. Szafranski

Methodology:

In a thermostatted glass stoppered flask 10-25 mL (1) was shaken for min four hours. with tritiated water (a few mL of $\ce{HTO}$ equivalent to ca. 2 mCi/mL) and decanted. A 5-mL aliquot was re-shaken for four hours. with 5 mL $\ce{H2O}$ in a 10 mL flask, sampled and assayed with a Nuclear Enterprises type 8301 liquid scintillation counter. The two-stage process eliminates quenching effects (due to solvent) on the scintillator.

Sample Information:

1. "Analar" grade; repurified by conventional methods [1].
2. Not specified.

Measurement Errors:

Mass concentration (m/v) (1): 5% ±1% (average deviation)
