This tater describes an acclication of tne soectrc-e 2'... La. gnotoneter to tne quantitative deternination of sodium m- benzeredisulfonate in nickel sulfate solutions. Data are given snowin; tnat small quantities of sod‘un n-benzenedi— O sulfonate 1n nickel sulfate solution have a distinct and characteristic absorntion egectra in the ultra violet re- gion with maximum absorition at gooO A? and 2750 A9, \itn assorstion extendin; from about 2/50 s? to EVCC A9. Takin; '5 ;dventa e of these two maximum absorition toints, and en- ;loyinb tn ex incticn coefficients, one is able to comgute quantitatively tne concentration of sodium n-benzenedisul- fonate. With carefully controlled workinb conditions, tne extinction coefficient was found to be retroducable witn a high degree of accuracy. Sodium m-benzenedisulfcnate is used for a brightener in nickel plating solutions, and uncn an estimation of concentration is desired, tLe usua netnod of determination is oy a Lrevinetric analysis as barium sulfate, union is lo 5 and involves consideracle true and worn. Tne advan- F4; tabs c tne sgeotIOQnotonetric netnod is tnat it is ‘acid and convenient. Tne nrocedure for tnis netnod of analysis is based ugon tne grincigal tnat tne .eroentaze transnittency of light at a certain wave lengtn is a function of the concen- tration of tne desired substance in tne solution. In re— cert years sucn a method of measuring a constituent s;ec- tropnotonetrically nas been anglied by nehli; to the deter- ninetion of manganese in steel (2), iron in ores (3); to 1 . . ., _ . .. conzer (4); to Vitamins and nornonee cy mCItOH (3); and also to dyestuffs, by Erode (6) and Eolnes (7). emcloye a .- . ‘- ' ’ :L‘DiiF-l‘r' 31-9 {TIT 393C871- transnittancy measurements D —.J ‘,_) 5' - . _‘ ,. .. neeium quarts enectragrn. .4‘ ' ..

On the other hand, sodium m-benzenedisulfonate has no absorption in the visible spectrum. This fact is remarkable, making this method for the dete~hination of the disulfonate pos- sible with no interference nor overlaping of the nickel sulfate and the sodiun m-benzenedisulfonate absorption bands. The disulfonate band extends from 2350 A? to 2800 A? at 18 degrees, which the nickel sulfate band is from 3400 A? to about 4700;? Jones and Strong (8) in their studies on nickel sulfate solutions indicate that the violet band for nickel sulfate extends from 3700 A. to 4550 A.. However, the data obtained with the instrument used by th writer, shows a wider band, namely, from about 3400 A. to 4700 A., see Fig. II. Jones and Strong also Show that the nickel sulfate absorption is independent of the temperature. Extensive studies made by Muller (9) on inorganic solutions indicate there are no de- viations from Beer's law for nickel sulfate solutions. In plating baths benzenedisulfonic acid is frequently used as a brightener instead of the sodium salt, Ghosh and Bisvas (10) have tested this acid and found the acid has the same absorption as the sodium salt. Also in the in- vestigation of Wright (11), the same result is confirmed. Boric acid, which is added to a plating bath as a buffer, AL 0 (3+0 3hoo 3600 too -u.o #000 L23 uh J Have 1 er *‘h .. 8|.

An interesting observation was the comparison of the difference between the absorption curves for sodium mono- benzenesulfonate and sodium m-benzenedisulfonate. The for- ormer has three maxima and three minima, while the latter has only two maxima and two minima. Incidently, the curve of the sodium mono-benzenesulfonate is very similar to the absorption curve of benzene, which has seven maxima and seven minima (12). Apparently as more sulfonate groups are attached to a benzene molecule, a greater difference in the in the identity of the curve is obvious. By inspection of Table III it is evident that the E value for sodium m-benzenedisulfonate depends on the sol- vent a:d solution. Uhen both cells cohtain nickel sulfate (50;) solution, the 3 value is 19.0. When the solvent cell contains ZOfl nickel sulfate and the solution cell, water, the E Value increases from 19.0 to 20.2, making an increase of 1.2 units, or 6.3; difference, a significant amount. It appears from this that the presence of nickel sulfate adds to the size of the E value. Since an increase of 1.2 units in E value is due to absorption by nickel sulfate, and a decrease of 5.2 units in the absence of nickel sulfate, the difference of 2.0 units is evidently due to_the pres- ence of nickel sulfate; 2.0 units would make a increase If", a A we -‘1 ,—-.| ~,-\ (. . w .1 R4—- -L \I..L _. w r" ‘1‘ (:71 1" ,5 -~ 9‘1" ."
