(iv) Procedure. To the separatory funnels containing the sample solution and standard copper solution, add 10 milliliters of the

zinc

dibenzyldithiocarbamate solution and shake the funnels vigorously for 1 minute. Allow the phases to separate. Filter the carbon tetrachloride phase (lower phase) through 1 gram of anhydrous sodium sulfate to remove excess water. Using a suitable spectrophotometer equipped with 1-centimeter cells, and carbon tetrachloride as a blank, measure the absorbance of the standard copper solution and the sample solution at 435 nanometers.
