A complex of iron (II) in the water sample was formed with 1,10-phenanthroline,
Fe(C12H8N2)32+ and the absorbance of this colored solution is measured with a spectrophotometer.
The volume reading was recorded at 7.0271 mL. The spectrum was plotted to determine the
absorption maximum. Hydroxylamine (as the hydrochloride salt to increase solubility) was added
to reduce any Fe3+ to Fe2+ and to maintain it in that state.
Conclusion
