Recent interest in the use of Rilver as a bacteri cidal agent led to the study of analytical m ethods suita ble for det erminin g silver in the small concentrations employed for these purposes. A sensitive and a ccurate colorimetric method, in which p-dimethylami nobenzalrhodanin e is used, was developed. Soft-glass dishes are not, suita ble for use in the analyti cal procedure because of a yery pronounced adsorption of silver on such surfaces. Di shes of fu sed silica or of P yrex glass were satisfactor y . Chlorirles, sulfat es, and cupr us and m er curous salts interfere with this colorimetric det erminatio n.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
