Q

• Principle:
• Sodium is made to react with zinc uranyl acetate to produce a sodium uranyl acetate precipitate

• Precipitate is mixed with water and a yellow solution is formed which is then measured spectrophotometrically

A

Albanese Lein Method

17
Q

Albanese Lein Method
• Principle:
• Sodium is made to react with_____ to produce a______

• Precipitate is mixed with water and a____(color) solution is formed which is then measured spectrophotometrically

A

zinc uranyl acetate; sodium uranyl acetate precipitate
