3) Hydrochloric acid<br />

The reagent hydrochloric acid can be titrated directly by adding about<br />

0.03g <strong>of</strong> sample to 50ml <strong>of</strong> Dehydrated Solvent MS.<br />

4) Hydr<strong>of</strong>luoric acid<br />

The reagent hydr<strong>of</strong>luoric acid can be titrated directly by adding about<br />

0.03g <strong>of</strong> sample to 50ml <strong>of</strong> Dehydrated Solvent MS.<br />

However, as hydr<strong>of</strong>luoric acid erodes glass parts <strong>of</strong> the titration cell and<br />

the electrodes, teflon-coated parts should be used.<br />

5) Hydrocyanic acid<br />

The reagent hydrocyanic acid can be dissolved in Dehydrated Solvent<br />

MS for direct titration.<br />

Hydrogen chloride gas reacts with <strong>Karl</strong> <strong>Fischer</strong> reagent and cannot be<br />

titrated directly. The moisture content is titrated after condensation in a trap<br />

at -78 � C, using the following procedures.<br />

a) To ensure that the system is free <strong>of</strong> moisture, nitrogen gas that has first<br />

been dried with silica gel and phosphorus pentaoxide is passed inside<br />

titration flask D in the direction L � M � y at a rate <strong>of</strong> approximately<br />

0.5l/min. (The moisture content <strong>of</strong> the nitrogen that passed through the<br />

system is titrated.)
