Most quinones give some polarographic reduction waves in both the aqueous and the non-aqueous media. The influence of some proton donative species on the polarographic behavior of quinones was discussed previously, in which the presence of small concentration of acid in the solution caused a diffusion controlled prewave to the reduction wave of quinones. The probable expression of the electrode reaction for the prewave is,
Q+2HA+2
e_??_H
2Q+2A
-The prewave height was proportional to the concentration of the acid added, and the half-wave potential varied with the acidity of added species.
The present paper dealt with the analytical application of those facts to the determination of minute quantity of acid. The method was applied to the free acid contained in some commercial reagents as an impurity. For example, the contents of free sulfuric acid in potassium sulfate and free salicylic acid in sodium salicylate were determined from the polarograms of
p-benzoquinone obtained in aqueous solutions containing each salt as a supporting electrolyte. The content of free acetic acid in crude ethyl acetate was also determined from the prewave recorded with the solution of methyl-
p-benzoquinone using ethyl acetate itself as a solvent.
The results were accurate to within 1.4% error for 10
-310
-4M and 5% for 10
-5M of acid. This method might be applicable to the determination and the detection of small amount of free acid in the crude reagent as low as ppm range.

A new technique for determining selenium in iron and steels has been established, which involves the extractive separation of selenium by benzene and the iodometric microtitration with starch as an indicator. The recommended procedure is as follows. Dissolve 1g of sample in nitric acid or that combined with hydrochloric acid, and heat to gentle fumes with 20m
l of perchloric acid. Transfer the residue into a separatory funnel with 20m
l of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Add about 30m
l of benzene and 1m
l of hydrobromic acid (
d=1.48), and then shake for 1min. Discard the aqueous layer and wash inside of the funnel once by shaking with a mixture of 5m
l of concentrated hydrochloric acid, 5m
l of 60% perchloric acid and 0.20.3m
l of hydrobromic acid. Discard the washings. Back-extract selenium (IV) successively with 15m
l of 2% sodium nitrite, 10m
l of extremely dilute sodium hydroxide solution and finally with 10m
l of water. Boil the combined extracts for a few min. in the presence of 5m
l of 85% phosphoric acid and 0.3g of urea. Cool to about 20°C and expel dissolved oxygen by treating with 1g of sodium bicarbonate. Titrate iodometrically with 0.01
N thiosulfate solution.
Selenium more than 0.01% in ordinary iron, stainless steels and heat resisting steels was determined successfully. The relative errors were -3% and ±5% for, respectively, 1% and 0.10.01% of selenium.

To the silicate samples like glasses or rocks were added sodium carbonate and the diluent consisting of germanium dioxide and the twice amount of graphite powder, in the ratios 1 : 1 : 2 or 1 : 1 : 40. The thoroughly mixed sample was put into a carbon electrode and excited by the d.c. arc of 200 volts and 8 amperes. The spectra recorded photographically were processed by the usual methods. The line of germanium at 3067.0 or 2829.0Å was used as the internal standard, the latter being used for samples containing larger amounts of iron. The elements Ag, Al, Bi, Ca, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn and Ti can be determined with the relative deviation of about 10%, and Si of about 5%. The concentration ranges applicable are Ag 0.001Ti 0.6% as listed in Table I, and those of major components, SiO
2 and PbO are
ca. 15100% and 1075%, respectively. The purpose of the present investigation is the application of spectrographic methods to the study of ancient glasses.

Methods for standardization of sulfur dioxide gas used for the calibration of a measuring apparatus were studied.
Sulfonal, which is used as a standard substance for the organic elementary analysis, was used as a primary standard substance, and the following two standardization methods were studied.
(1) Sulfur oxides evolved by the combustion of sulfonal was absorbed in a hydrogen peroxide solution, and the sulfuric acid produced was determined by coulo metric titration.
(2) Sulfur oxides evolved by the combustion of sulfonal was caught on the silver gauze as silver sulfate, and was converted into hydrogen sulfide by the reduc tion with hydrogen.
The resulting hydrogen sulfide was absorbed in a zinc acetate solution.
Methylene Blue was produced in the usual way and its concentration was determined by spectrophotometry.
The latter method (Takeuchi's Method*) is recommended because it is more accurate and precise.

A new spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of salicylic acid. The method is based on solvent extraction of the ion-pair formed between tris(1, 10-phenanthroline)iron(II) and the anion of salicylic acid into nitrobenzene.
The color intensity of the organic phase (516 mμ) is proportional to the initial amount of the salicylic acid in aqueous phase.
The constant extraction is obtained when the cationic metal chelate concentration is 3.2 × 10
-3M in the aqueous solution buffered at pH 5.5 to 9.5.
The calibration curve is constructed as follows.
To 5 m
l of 0.3
M phosphate buffer solution (pH 6) and 8 m
l of tris(1, 10-phenanthroline)iron(II) solution (1.0 × 10
-2 M) are added varying amounts of the standard salicylic acid solution (2.0 × 10
-4M, 05 m
l). It is diluted to 25 m
l with water, and is shaken for 2 min. with 10 m
l of nitrobenzene. The absorbance of the organic phase is measured at 516 mμ against the reagent blank.
A linear relationship is obtained over the range of 8 × 10
-6 to 4 × 10
-5M of salicylic acid in aqueous solution.
The effect of diverse organic compounds such as preservatives, sweetening agents and others on this method was investigated.
The proposed method was applied to the determination of salicylic acid in commercial Japanese Sake and the results were in good agreement with those by official UV method.

Nitrate ion is extracted into MIBK as the ion-pair formed between bis(neocuproine)copper(I) and nitrate ion; the copper concentration in the extract is then determined by atomic absorption method in an air-acetylene flame at the 3247Å copper line. Optimum conditions are described. The absorbance of the extract showed a linear relationship to the concentration of nitrate initially present in the aqueous solution over the range of 10
-5 to 7 × 10

The relations between vaporized amounts, vaporization behavior and spectral line intensity of copper in graphite powder have been examined with graphite electrodes under varying arc discharge conditions and buffer concentrations.
Standard samples were prepared with highly purified graphite powder, 10 ppm of copper as cupric oxide and various amounts of lithium fluoride as a spectrographic buffer substance. The element was excited by the d.c. arc discharge, and the concentration of copper remaining in graphite powder after the discharge was measured by the neutron activation analysis.
It was shown that the vaporized amounts were increased and the temperature of anode was raised with an increase of the arc current. Under the conditions involving arc current 8.512.6A, electrode gap 3 mm, discharge time 60 sec., the vaporized amounts were 9×10
-9g/mg sample on both anode and cathode craters in the air, and 5×10
-9g/mg sample in argon atmosphere. The argon atmosphere gave, under the same vaporized amounts as in the air, a lower line intensity of Cu 3247.5Å. The ratio of
Cobs. to
Cstand. in the air, characterizing a vaporaization behavior of copper, depended mostly on the arc current and the discharge time. The vaporized amounts on both anode and cathode craters as well as the line intensity of Cu 3247.5Å were increased by an addition of lithium fluoride of a concentration from 0.5 to 2.0% to the sample under arc discharge.

Some basic techniques for the microprobe analysis by a mass spectrograph with high frequency spark source were investigated, in which platinum or tungsten wire (200μ in diameter) was used as the pointed counter electrode to plane sample. The craters on the surface of samples were 400500μ in diameter and 1020μ in depth for the exposure 1×10
-10coulombs, and 300μ and 2μ, respectively, for the exposure 3×10
-13 coulombs. The elements of 0.01% were detected by the former exposure and those of 1% by the latter. The size of crater depended on the repetition rate of pulse and the spark voltage. The ratio of ion intensities of sample to counter electrode changed in every discharge, and for the quantitative analysis the ion intensity of counter electrode had to be subtracted from the total ion intensity. By this reason, platinum having the wide range of abundance ratio of the isotopes was more suitable than tungsten as the counter electrode. The reproductivility of microprobe analysis with low alloy steel was 517% as coefficient of variation. The technique was applied for the analysis of inclusions in stainless steel samples.

A liquid-liquid extraction of metal chelate with a hot solution followed by a solid-liquid separation was successfully applied to the trace analysis of metals.
In the determination of traces of copper, the pH of the sample solution was adjusted to around 6.0, the solution was heated on a hot water bath, shaken vigorously after the addition of a pellet of oxine-diphenyl (0.05 g of oxine in 5.0 g diphenyl solution) to extract copper oxinate into the liquefied diphenyl layer, and allowed to stand still at room temperature. The solidified pellet was washed with water by decantation, dissolved and diluted to a definite volume with chloroform. An aliquot was then taken to an optical cell and the absorbancy at 410 mμ was measured to determine the amount of copper.
The Beers' law held with the amount of copper up to 150 μg in 50 m
l of original solution. Fig. 1 shows the absorption spectrum of copper oxinate in diphenyl dissolved with chloroform.
The method could also be applied to the removal of interfering major components in trace analyses and to the decontamination of radioactive elements. The detailed results will be reported later.
