5.1.4 Pyrophosphoric Acid
A
5.45 mM Pyrophosphoric acid
solution can be prepared as follows:
Add 0.97 g pyrophosphoric acid (MW = 177.98). Dilute to a final volume of 1 L using deionized water. Degas the
eluent.
5.2
Eluent Preparation
Eluent: X mM Methanesulfonic acid (MSA), Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) or 18-Crown-6 Ether
Using the table below, pipet X.0 mL of the 1.0 N MSA or TFA eluent concentrate (see Section 5.1, “Preparation of
Eluent Stock Solution Concentrates”) into a 1-L volumetric flask. Dilute to 1-L using deionized water with a specific
resistance of 18.2 megohm-cm. Degas the eluent.
