Abstract
Abstract Sulfate ion concentration in aqueous solution is determined by initially adding a known concentration of ferric ion to the solution, and adjusting the pH of the solution to a suitable value, whereby ferric ion is complexed by the sulfate ion. The activity of the remaining, uncomplexed ferric ion is then measured by means of a ferric ion-selective electrode comprising a glass of the formula FenGexSbySez, where n is about 1.5 to 3.0, x is about 27 to 29, y is about 11 to 13 and z is about 59 to 61.
