Abstract

A highly sensitive spectrophotometric method for determination of arsenic, based on the formation of an ion-association complex between arsenoantimonomolybdenum blue and Malachite Green, has been developed. The ion-association complex is soluble in the presence of Triton X-305, so arsenic can be determined directly in aqueous solution. The apparent molar absorptivity for arsenic is 1.13 × 10 5 l.mole −1.cm −1 at 640 nm. Beer's law is obeyed for 0–5 μg of arsenic. The lower limit of determination (absorbance = 0.01) is 4 ng ml in the final solution.
