The method describes how to determine the chloride content in water by means of the analytical method according to MOHR.
Transformation of the chloride ions in the presence of silver ions produces silver chloride, which is not very soluble, until all the chloride ions are bound. The excess silver ions react with chromate ions to silver chromate, which exhibits a reddish brown color:
Cl - + Ag+ → AgCI
2 Ag+ + CrO42- → Ag2CrO4
The method describes how to determine the chlorine dioxide content of water photometrically with a cuvette test.
Transformation of chloride solutions in the presence of mercury thiocyanate produces less-dissociated mercury(I) chloride. An equivalent quantity of thiocyanate ions is released simultaneously, forming iron(III) thiocyanate with iron(III) salts. The red hue resulting from the reaction is determined photometrically.
