Abstract

Saturation concenrtation of DDVP at room temperature (28 ~ has been determined by a colorimetric method. The saturation concentration at 28 o are 9.39 and 8.55 rag/1 for AR and technical grade samples respectively. The method consists of coupling DDVP vapours in gas-tight tubes with alkaline resorcinol at a water bath of 60--65 ~ when a yellow chromophore with an absorption maximum at 490 nm is formed. The linear relationship between the concentration of DDVP and absorbance at 490 nm holds good in the range of 1 to 20 #g DDVP. The method has been checked with a gas chromatographic method for accuracy. These values are also verified by a physical method based on Dalton's Law of partial pressures in a gaseous mixture.
