SRM 3166a Ytterbium (Yb) Standard Solution Lot No 140114

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of ytterbium. A unit of SRM 3166a consists of five 10 mL sealed borosilicate glass ampoules of an acidified aqueous solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of ytterbium. The solution contains nitric acid at a volume fraction of approximately 10 %, equivalent to an amount of substance concentration (molarity) of approximately 1.6 mol/L. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.
