The sulfate sol

25、utions areprepared by diluting the stock solution.8.6.1 High sulfate stock concentration (100 mg/L) is pre-pared by the dilution of 100 mL of the sulfate stock solution to1 000 mL in a volumetric flask with water.8.6.2 Intermediate sulfate stock concentration (10 mg/L) isprepared by the dilution of
