4.7 Background solution.
Dissolve 10 g 01 pure Iron wire [minimum purity 99,9 % (rn/rn). ci magnesium content los, than
0,0002 % (rn/rn)] In 50 ml of hydrochloric acid (42) and oxidize by adding nitric acid (4.4) drop by drop. Evaporate until a syrupy consistency Is obtained. Add 20 ml ci hydrochloric acid (42) and dilute to 200 ml with water. Dissolve 17 g or sodium carbonate (4.1) in water, add carefully to the iron solution and heat to remove carbon dioxide. Transfer the cooled solution to a 1 000 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to volume with water end
4.8 Lanthanum chloride solution.
Dissolve 50 g of lanthanum chloride (LsCi.xH2O) [of magnesium content less than 0.002 % (rn/rn)] in 50 ml of hydrochiorlc acid (4.2) and 300 ml of hot water. Cool and dilute to 1 litre.
4.9 MagnesIum standard solution 15 *g Mgml
Dissolve 0,300 0 g or oxide-free magnesium rnelal [minimum purity 99.9 % (rn/rn)] by slowly addIng 75 ml of hydrochloric acid (p 1,19 g/mi), diluted
1 +3. When dissolved, cool, transfer to a 1 000 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to volume with water and mix. Transfer 10 ml of this solutIon to a 200 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to volume with water and mix.
4.10 Magnesium calibration solutions,
Using pipettes. transFer 2.0 ml; 5.0 ml; 10,0 ml; 20,0 ml; 40,0 ml; and 50,0 ml portion, of the magnesium standard solutions (4.9) to 2(10 ml volumetric flasks (see note 2). Add 6 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2), 60 ml of background solution (4.7) and 40 ml or lanthanum chloride solution (4.8) to each flask. Dilute all the solutions to volume with water end mix. Prepare a zero magnesium calibration solution by transferring 60 ml of the background solution to a 200 ml volumetric flask, add 6 ml of hydrochloric acid (4.2) and 40 ml of lanthanum chloride solution. Dilute all the solutions to volume with water and mix.

5.3 AtomIc absorption spectromefer, equipped with an air-acetylene burner.
The atomic absorption spectrometer used In this method shall meet the following criteria.
a) Minimum sensItivity — the absorbance of the most concentrated magnesium calibration solution (4.10) shall be at least 0.3.
b) Graph linearity — the slope of the calibration graph covering the top 20 % of the concentration range (expressed as a change in absorbance) shall not be Ices than 0,7 of the value of the slope for the bottom 20 % of the concentratIon range determined in the same way
C) MinImum stability — the standard deviation of the absorbance of the most concentrated calibration solution and that ol the zero calibration solutIon, each being calculated from a sufficient number of repetitive measurements, shall be lees than 1,5 % and 0.5 % respectively of the mean value of the absorbance of the most concentrated calibration solution.
