The author is indebted to Professor J. W. Ellis of the University of California at Los Angeles for a list of errors and corrections ; several of the...

a new and simple method followed by atomic absorption spectrometry has been developedfor indirect determination of ascorbic acid (aa). the proposed method was based on the oxidationof aa to dehydroascorbic acid with cu2+cation(200mgl-1)in an ammonium thiocyanatesolution atph2.4. aa reduces cu2+to cu+followed by the precipitation of cu+ with scn-. then, the excess ofcu2+in the solution was measu...
