Calculation of Results
FORMULA: ppm sulfite as SO3 = ml of potassium iodide-iodate (RXSOL-62-5503-006) x 500 / ml SAMPLE
Using a 50 ml sample, sulfite, in parts per million as SO3 is equal to the ml of RXSOL-62-5503-006 required multiplied by 10.
Example:
A 50-mL sample was titrated with 0.0125 N titrant and 6 mL of titrant was used at the endpoint. The concentration is 6 mL × 10 = 60 mg/L sulfite SO3 2–
