Preparation of Iron Standard Solutions

Preparation of Iron Standard Solutions

Iron Standard Solution (0.1% Fe):
Dissolve 0.100 g of Fe in the smallest amount necessary of a mixture of equal volumes of hydrochloric acid and water and dilute to 100.0 mL with water.

Iron Standard Solution (250 ppm Fe):
Immediately before use, dilute with water to 40 times its volume a solution containing 4.840 g of ferric chloride in a 150 g/l solution of hydrochloric acid diluted to 100.0 mL.
