A rapid and precise method for the amperometric titratlon of chromium in mixtures of fluoride salts was developed. The salt is dissolved in a mineral acid mixture, after which the chromium is oxidized to Cr(VI) with argentic oxide. The Cr(VI) is then amperometrically titrated with ferrous sulfate. This reduction causes no change in cell current urtil the end point is reached where the current decreases. The titration is followed by means of a polarograph equipped with a titration cell that consists of a pyrolytic graphite electrode vs the S.C.E. The optimum potential for the titration is + 1.0 volt vs the S.C.E. In the range of 1 to 50 mu g of Cr(VI) titrated, the relative standard deviation is less than 2%. Of the interferences studied, only Mn(VII) and Ce(IV) interfere with the method at the level of concentrations studied. (auth)
