6.3.1Preparation of sample and blank test solutions
Dilute the sample solutions (6.1.1 or 6.1.2) and the blank test solution (6.2) with 0.5 N hydrochloric acid solution (3.3) to a concentration within the optimal measuring range of the spectrophotometer.
6.3.2Preparation of the calibration solution
By diluting the standard solution (3.5.2) with 0.5 N hydrochloric acid solution (3.3) prepare at least 5 standard solutions corresponding to the optimal measuring range of the spectrophotometer.
