Therangeofapplication：Kb<10-8organicbasicsalts；Influenceofacidradicals:生物堿鹽中被置換出的無(wú)機(jī)酸類在醋酸中的酸性依下列排序遞減：HClO4>HBr>H2SO4>HCl>HSO4->HNO3Methodofindicatingendpoint:Electricpotentialmethodandindicatormethod;crystalvioletiscommonlyusedastheindicator.Non-aqueoustitrationApplication：氫鹵酸鹽的測(cè)定：由于氫鹵酸在冰醋酸中酸性較強(qiáng)，對(duì)測(cè)定有干擾，必須先加入過(guò)量的醋酸汞冰醋酸溶液，使形成難以電離的鹵化汞，而氫鹵酸鹽則轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榭蓽y(cè)定的醋酸鹽，然后用高鹵酸滴定可得滿意結(jié)果。

測(cè)定生物堿硫酸鹽時(shí)，應(yīng)注意分子中氮原子的堿性強(qiáng)弱，方能正確地進(jìn)行結(jié)果計(jì)算；并能正確地理解各測(cè)定方法項(xiàng)下滴定度的由來(lái)。如：硫酸阿托品[USP(24)]。Non-aqueoustitrationASSAY-Dissolveabout1gofAtropineSulfate,accuratelyweighed,in50mLofglacialaceticacid,andtitratewith0.1Mol/LperchloricacidVS,determiningtheendpointpotentiometrically.Performablankdetermination,andmakeanynecessarycorrection.EachmLof0.1Mol/Lperchloricacidisequivalentto67.68mgof(C17H23NO3)2·H2SO4.Theassayofnitrate:

硝酸在冰醋酸中是弱酸，但它具有氧化性使指示劑變色，所以用非水溶液測(cè)定生物堿硝酸鹽時(shí)，一般不采用指示劑而用電位法指示終點(diǎn)。
