Abstract

A sensitive and selective procedure was developed for the spectrophotometric
determination of silver by its catalytic effect on the oxidation of gallocyanine by
peroxydisulphate in acidic media at 540 nm. Silver can be determined in the range of
0.001-0.500 µg/ml with a limit of detection of 0.0005 µg/ml, by a fixed-time method
of 4.0 min from initiation of the reaction, The relative standard deviation for ten
replicate determinations of 0.050 µg/ml of Ag(1) is 1.4%. This method was used for
the determination of silver in real smples.
