Preparation of Original Solution .

The mixture should be dissolved in an suitable solvent. The choice of solvents can have the following sequence.1.Cold Water, 2. Warm water, 3. Dilute HCl, 4. Concentrated HCl, 5. Dilute HNO3, 6. Concentrated HNO3, and 6. Aquaregia. The solution prepared by dissolving the mixture in the solvent is referred to a the original solution or O.S.
