Indian Standard
METHOD FOR VOLUMETRIC
DETERMINATION OF PHOSPHORUS
0. FOREWORD
0.1This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 18 September 1969, after the draft finalized by the Chemical Standards
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard prescribes the method for the volumetric determination
of phosphorus by using (a) ammonium molybdate, and (b) quinoline.
NOTE- The methodis intendedaa a generalanalyticalmethodand does not apply
to metal analysis whete limits for various interferingelementsand/or radicalsare
prescribed.
2. &UALITY OF REAGENTS
2.1 Unless specified otherwise, pure chemicals and distilled water
( see IS : 1070.1960t ) shall be used in tests.
NOTE- ‘ Pure chemicals’ shall mean chemicals that do not contain impurities
which affect the results of analysis.

4.1 Reagents
4.1.X Quinoline Hydrochloride Solution - Add 20 mi of purified quinoline
to 500 ml of hot distilled water acidified with 25 ml of concentrated
hydrochloric acid conforming to IS : 265-1962*. Cool and dilute to one
litre.
4.1.1.1 The quinoline used shall be purified and distilled as follows: s
Dissolve the technical grade quinoline in concentrated hydrochloric
acid and add excess zinc chloride solution. This precipitates i

precipitate and filter with cold water until they are free from acid. Transfer
the filter pad and the precipitate to the original flask and rinse the funnel
with water into the flask. If necessary, wipe the funnel with a small piece
of damp filter paper to ensure complete removal of the precipitate and place
the paper in the flask. Dilute to about 100 ml with water. Stopper the flask
and shake it vigorously until the pulp and the precipitate are completely
disintegrated. Remove the stopper and wash it with water, returning the
washings to the flask. From 2 burette add 50 ml of O-5 N standard sodium
hydroxide solution, shaking the !?ask during the addition. Shake vigorously
until all the precipitstc dissolves ( see Note 2 ). Add 1 ml of mixed indicator
solution and titrate the excess of sodium hydroxide solution with 0.5 N
hydrochioric acid until the indicator changes from violet to green-blue and
then very sharply to yellow.
4.2.1 Carry out a blank determination using all reagents, witliout the
sample and using exactly 0.1 N standard sodium hydroxide solution and
O-1 N standard hydrochloric acid instead of 0.5 N acid and 0.5 N alkali.
NOTE 1 ---Thr volume should not exceed 100 ml, as any rrduction in the
concentratkitn of hydrochloric acid may lead to the formation cf a cream coloured
precipitate cf the wrong composition. To avoid such rontaminaticm m the presence of
sulohatec, a higher concentration of hydrccilloric acid is necessary.
KOTF. :’ - Examine the disintegrated paper pulp carcfclly for sprcli~ of undissolved
precipitate which sometimes dissolve 5:in excess cf sodium hydroxidrr with difliculty.
