How to Prepare Ammonium Thiocyanate, 0.1 N

NH4SCN, 76.12
7.612 g in 1000 mL
Dissolve about 8 g of ammonium thiocyanate in 1000 mL of water, and standardize the solution as follows.

Accurately measure about 30 mL of 0.1 N silver nitrate VS into a glass-stoppered flask. Dilute with 50 mL of water, then add 2 mL of nitric acid and 2 mL of ferric ammonium sulfate TS, and titrate with the ammonium thiocyanate solution to the first appearance of a red-brown color. 
If desirable, 0.1 N ammonium thiocyanate may be replaced by 0.1 N potassium thiocyanate where the former is directed in various tests and assays.
