Abstract

A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of silver is described. The reaction involves a silver-enhanced reduction of 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride by semicarbazide hydrochloride to yield a pink-colored product with maximum absorption at 510 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range of 0.02-0.34 microg cm(-3) of silver, and the molar absorptivity is 4.51 x 10(5) l mol(-1) cm(-1). The optical parameters, optimum reaction conditions and interference studies have been described. The method has been applied to the determination of silver in photographic film waste water and in synthetic samples.
