Résumé
Lays down the treatment of a test portion by dilution with water (or with ethanol or propan-2-ol if the sample is not completely soluble in water) and removal of carbon dioxide by passing a strem of nitrogen through the solution. The determination is carried out by titration with a standard volumetric sodium hydroxide solution using phenolphthalein as indicator. The nitrogen used shall be free from ammonia and carbon dioxide.
