Determination of Residue on Evaporation in Anhydrous Ammonia
1 SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
This method is suitable for the determination of the residue left after evaporation i.e., the non-volatile material in ammonia solution.
2 PRINCIPLE
A known weight of sample is evaporated to dryness in a platinum dish on a steam bath. The increase in mass of the dish is measured.

PROCEDURE
Ignite a large platinum dish (3.1) in a Muffle furnace (3.2) at about 900°C
for a few minutes, allow to cool thoroughly in a desiccator and weigh to the
nearest 0.1 mg.
Weigh approximately 200 g sample into the platinum dish and evaporate
on a steam bath (3.3).
Remove the dish from the steam bath and dry for 30 minutes in a suitable
oven at 100 + 2°C. Cool thoroughly in a desiccator and reweigh to the
nearest 0.1 mg; reserve for the Residue on Ignition test.
