in order to remove/supress (the interfering) water content Explanation: Creo que "dar un efecto nulo a.." es una manera rebuscada de decir "anular [i.e. reducir lo máximo posible] el contenido de agua" In carrying out this method, a solvent is generally initially taken and, in order to remove the water content, is titrated to the end point with Karl-Fischer solution. A specific amount of the sample to be examined is then dissolved in the solvent and titrated with the Karl-Fischer solution until the end point is reached. The water content is then calculated from the amount of the sample, the consumption of Karl-Fischer solution and the factor of the solution.(...) The solvents are employed either on their own or as mixtures, in order to improve the solution properties for certain groups of substances or to suppress interfering side reactions. http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4874709/description.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2008-10-11 18:10:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- suppress the water content of/in the solvent |
