First you need sodium arsenite, and you may have trouble
buying it legally. The rest depends on what you will use
the solution for. Probably, you should use distilled water.
What kind of measurement equipment you need depends on
how exactly the composition needs to be 1 molar. Basically,
you have to dissolve 6.5 grams of sodium arsenite in enough
water to make a volume of 50 ml at 20 C (68 F). Adding 50
ml of water to 6.5 g of sodium arsenite won't give a final
volume of 50 ml. And I'm not sure that you can make a 1 M
concentration. I haven't been able to find the solubility
of this compound, other than general statements like "very
soluble in water".

Keep in mind that this is a poison. There is a risk in
working with it. It is not recommended for the neophyte.

thanks. I am analysing sorbital. sodium arsenite not available in my
lab, Is there any other way to prepare. I need 1molar.

You can buy sodium arsenite from suppliers. I found it in
the Fisher Scientific catalog in various forms and degrees
of purity. There are even solutions, but I didn't see a 1 M
solution. Are you looking for a way to make sodium arsenite?
No doubt, it can be done. But buying the compound has to
be less costly.

I guess you need to ask him how to do it, without the compound.

He doesn't need sodium arsenite. The procedure we used over 60 years
ago: Arsenious oxide (available as a primary standard) dissolved in 3N
sodium hydroxide. After dilution to volume transfer to a plastic
container.

Is there some advantage to that procedure vs. using the salt?

Arsenious oxide is available as a primary standard from the USBS. If
one uses the salt it will be necessary to standardize the solution
which will require a standard and a another procedure. Other than the
extra work the end result would be the same.

I have deleted the original post but my recollection is that there was
a problem purchasing sodium arsenite. He might have the oxide and if
not might be able to slip a purchase order for a primary standard from
the Bureau of Standards past some bean counter that is concerned about
toxic chemicals.

Analysis of sorbitol
Standard Malprade reaction I use it for manitol in seaweed samples.
Use as titrant sodium N/10 sodium thiosulphate.
If you do not wish to buy preprepared standard thiosulphate
standardise it using Pot iodate
See Vogel Quantitative Inorganic analysis my copy is third edn.
Note in the determination itself you are using periodate.
Keep the periodate and your reaction samples in the dark. I have a
number of of brown PET beer bottles with tops cut off. I place these
over my reaction flasks etc during the determination to protect
against light mediated periodate breakdown.
Again use the library.
