=50. Citrate-Insoluble Phosphoric Acid.=—Heat 100 cubic centimeters of strictly neutral ammonium citrate solution of 1.09 specific gravity to 65° in a flask placed in a bath of warm water, keeping the flask loosely stoppered to prevent evaporation. When the citrate solution in the flask has reached 65°, drop into it the filter containing the washed residue from the water-soluble phosphoric acid determination, close tightly with a smooth rubber stopper, and shake violently until the filter paper is reduced to a pulp. Place the flask back into the bath and maintain the water in the bath at such a temperature that the contents of the flask will stand at exactly 65°. Shake the flask every five minutes. At the expiration of exactly thirty minutes from the time the filter and residue were introduced, remove the flask from the bath and immediately filter as rapidly as possible. It has been shown by Sanborn, in this laboratory, that the filtration is greatly facilitated by adding asbestos pulp. Wash thoroughly with water at 65°. Transfer the filter and its contents to a crucible, ignite until all organic matter is destroyed, add from ten to fifteen cubic centimeters of strong hydrochloric acid, and digest until all phosphate is dissolved; or return the filter with contents to the digestion flask, add from thirty to thirty-five cubic centimeters of strong nitric, and from five to ten cubic centimeters of strong hydrochloric acid, and boil until all the phosphate is dissolved. Dilute the solution to 200 cubic centimeters. If desired, the filter and its contents can be treated according to methods (1), (2), or (3), under total phosphoric acid. Mix well; filter through a dry filter; take a definite portion of the filtrate and proceed as under total phosphoric acid. In case a determination of citrate-insoluble phosphoric acid be required in non-acidulated goods it is to be made by treating two grams of the phosphatic material, without previous washing with water, precisely in the way above described, except that in case the substance contain much animal matter (bone, fish, etc.), the residue insoluble in ammonium citrate is to be treated by one of the processes described below under total phosphoric acid, (1), (2), or (3).
