A.2.3 Identification method A.2.3.1 Identification of sodium ion A.2.3.1.1 Method principle According to the phenomenon that sodium ions burn on a colorless flame and the flame is bright yellow, identify the presence of sodium ions.

acetic acid (if necessary, use an electric hot plate to slightly heat). Add 2~3 drops of crystal violet indicator solution. Use perchloric acid standard titration solution to titrate till the solution changes from purple to blue and finally to green, which shall be the end point. Except for no specimen, use the same amount of reagent solution for blank test. When in use, the temperature of the perchloric acid standard titrant shall be the same as the temperature at the time of calibration. If the temperature difference is less than 4°C, the concentration of the perchloric acid standard titration solution shall be corrected to the concentration at the operating temperature. If the temperature difference is greater than 4°C, it shall be re-calibrated.

A.4 Determination of chloride (as Cl-)

A.4.1 Method principle Under acidic conditions, the chloride ion in the sodium gluconate solution and the silver nitrate solution form a white silver chloride precipitate. Compare the turbidity with the standard solution by visual inspection.

A.4.4 Analysis steps A.4.4.1 Preparation of specimen solution Weigh 0.4g of specimen, to the nearest of 0.01g. Place in a 50mL Nessler colorimetric tube. Add 20mL of water to dissolve. Use it as the specimen solution.

A.4.4.2 Preparation of standard solution Pipette 2.00mL of sodium chloride standard solution. Place in a 50mL Nessler colorimetric tube. Use 20mLof water to dilute. Use it as the standard solution.

hydrochloric acid solution and 5mL of barium chloride solution. Separately use water to set volume to 50mL. Shake well slowly. Place for 10min.

Place the two on a black background. Look down from the top of the colorimetric tube. Compare the turbidity produced. The turbidity of the sample solution is not deeper than the turbidity of the standard solution, that is, the sulfate in the specimen is not more than 0.05%.

A.6 Determination of reducing substances (as D-glucose)

A.6.1 Method principle The reducing sugar reduces the divalent copper ion to cuprous oxide. The remaining divalent copper ions react with iodide ions under acidic conditions to generate quantitative iodine. Titrate the generated iodine with sodium thiosulfate standard solution, so as to calculate the content of reducing sugar in the specimen.
