Analysis of Mercuric 5-Nitrotetrazole

Abstract

Mercury (II) in mercuric 5-nitrotetrazole may be determined by atomic absorption using the unique-to-mercury absorption line at 2536.5 angstroms, with a precision of 1-3%. For a precision of 0.1 to 0.6%, a titration with thiocyanate ion is recommended. The 5-nitrotetrazole anion may be determined by measuring the absorbance due to the anion at 257 nm in the ultraviolet, with a precision of + or - 1%. The anion may also be determined by oxidation with dichromate ion in sulfuric acid solution, with a precision of + or - 0.5%.
