Benzoyl peroxide and cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) are reduced at the anodically polarized dropping mercury electrode, the former at about +0.3 volt vs. S.C.E., and the latter at +0.1 v. Their half-wave potentials as well as that of the two reduction steps of dissolved oxygen are gradually shifted towards more negative values with increasing concentration of organic peroxides. The polarographic method is suitable for determining these peroxides in concentrations up to 2 × 10−3 mole per liter. Dissolved oxygen does not interfere seriously with the analyses.

Single Blood Sample

A polarographic method was described in an earlier report which permits the accurate, rapid determination of oxygen content in small samples of blood. As with the Van Slyke technic, total oxygen capacity was formerly estimated by a separate determination of the oxygen content after complete saturation with oxygen of another portion of the blood sample. Further experience with the polarographic method has revealed the feasibility of estimating both content and capacity in a single blood sample. The capacity estimate is made possible by the polarographic observation of the quantity of potassium ferricyanide required to convert ferrohemoglobin to ferrihemoglobin. The measurement of oxygen content is performed, as previously described, by the polarographically determined increase in physically dissolved oxygen caused by the release of bound oxygen. By this means, one avoids sampling and random errors inherent in the use of two separate determinations. The method requires only a brief time for performance and ordinary technical proficiency. It is also simple in application. polarographic dropping mercury electrode; oxygen tension; digitonin; potassium ferricyanide; ferrohemoglobin; ferrihemoglobin Submitted on June 24, 1964

A precise and simple method for the determination of the gamma isomer of benzenehexachloride in commercial insecticides and soil by the dropping mercury electrode is outlined. A satisfactory supporting electrolyte consisted of 1% potassium iodide and a trace of gelatin in 50% ethanol.
