Heat to 1000\u00b0 and maintain at this temperature for 15 minutes. Allow to cool and suspend the residue in 150 mL of water. Wash the dish with 2 mL of 6M acetic acid and add the washings to the suspension. Cool in ice and decant the supernatant liquid, transferring as little of the solid matter as possible to the filter.Wash the residue with successive quantities of a 2% w\/v solution of sodium carbonate until the washings are free from sulfate and discard the washings. Add 5 mL of 2M hydrochloric acid to the filter, wash through into the vessel containing the bulk of the solid matter with water, add 5 mL of hydrochloric acid and dilute to 100 mL with water. Add 10 mL of a 40% w\/v<br \/>\nsolution of ammonium acetate, 25 mL of a 10% w\/v solution of potassium dichromate and 10 g of urea. Cover and digest in a hot-air oven at 80\u00b0 to 85\u00b0 for 16 hours. Filter whilst still hot through a sintered-glass filter (ISO 4793, porosity grade 4, is suitable), washing the precipitate initially with a 0.5% w\/v solution of potassium dichromate and finally with 2 mL of water. Dry to constant weight at 105\u00b0.
