Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Volumetric Analysis: Treating on the Subjects of Indicators, Test-Papers, Alkalimetry, Acidimetry, Analysis by Oxidation and Reduction, Iodometry, Assay Processes for Drugs With the Titrimetric Estimation of Alkaloids
This manual is intended to serve as a systematic introduction to the principles of volumetric analysis based on modern theories. Especial attention has been devoted to the theory of ionization and its application to indicators, also the necessary precautions as to dilution, temperature, and in?uence of disturbing elements - factors frequently overlooked in volumetric analysis.
As a guide for the selection of a proper indicator, the detailed descriptions are followed by a table which should be consulted by the beginner before carrying out a saturation titration.
The most important factor in volumetric analysis is the prepara tion and accurate standardization of the reagent solutions; in view of this, several different methods of standardization, with practical examples, are given in each case in order that the operator may learn to properly check his work.
Each different titration method is illustrated by one or more practical exercises which serve as aid to the student in the calcula tion of the various problems which present themselves.
In order to avoid possible confusion to the beginner direct per centage estimations. Are treated under a separate heading after the general principles have been thoroughly considered.
The readiness with which many standard solutions lose their titer on standing, the loss of time entailed in re-standardizing, also the convenience with which these empirical solutions may be pre pared and utilized in titrating, led the author to devote a special section to this subject; which is continued throughout the text in the form of practical examples.
