8、.1 By cleaving nonionic surfactants containing polyethyl-ene oxide chains with hydriodic acid, the unstable 1,2-diiodoethane is formed. This vicinal diiodide decomposes toform ethylene and iodine.3.2 The percent ethylene oxide is determined by measuringthe amount of free iodine formed, since one mol

9、e of iodine isformed for each mole of ethylene oxide in the polyoxyalkylenechain. The free iodine is titrated with a standard sodiumthiosulfate solution.4. Apparatus (Fig. 1)4.1 Heat Sources, two.

Precision and Bias8.1 The following criteria should be used for judging theacceptability of results (Note 5):8.1.1 Repeatability (Single Analyst)The standard devia-tion of results obtained by

35、the same analyst was estimated to be0.47 % absolute at 9 df. Two such values should be consideredsuspect (95 % confidence level) if they differ by more than1.5 % absolute.8.1.2 Reproducibility (Multilaboratory)5The standard de-viation of results (each the average of duplicatedeterminations), obtaine

36、d by analysts in different laboratories,has been estimated to be 1.81 % absolute at 7 df. Two suchvalues should be considered suspect (95 % confidence level) ifthey differ by more than 6.0 % absolute.NOTE 5The precision estimates are based on an interlaboratory studyon Igepal CO 630 by nine laborato

37、ries. However, this procedure as writtencalls for the use of 100-mL reaction flasks (instead of 50-mL flasks whichwere used in the interlaboratory study).
