Subject: phosphate determination
Hello,
I am an analytical chemist and I have been working with a
colorimeteric method to determine phosphate in water. The method reacts
a solution of ammonium molybdate, bismuth subnitrate and ascorbic acid
with phosphate to form a blue color. What I sould like to know is what
is the reaction that forms the blue color? If you know of a reference
could you let me know.
Thanks in advance.
