Analysis methods for mixture of hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid [Indonesia] 

August 24, 2006

Hi, I'm Yani from Indonesia.

I have a problem how to analysis hyidrochloric acid in mixture of hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.
Can i analyse it with titration method? In my experience, the result of titration use sodium hydroxide will have a higher hidrochloric acid concentration than the industrial standard (the main analysis is percentage of hidrochloric acid). The industrial standard for hidrochloric acid in Indonesia is 30 to 33 %. I think it caused by presence of sulfuric acid on solution (there's barium sulphate precipitation when reacted ˆ with barium chloride).

Could u tell me about the right analysis methods for my problem?

Thanks alot,
