Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Chemical Analysis, Qualitative and Quantitative
An Appendix is added, containing a description of processes for the complete analysis of crude potashes and ores of manganese, for the refraction of nitre, the valuation of guano, the analysis of ashes of vegetables, and a note on the analysis of soils. The mode of calculating the atomic constitution of a sub stance from its per-centage composition, when known, is also described, with the methods of taking the specific gravity of matter in different conditions; and numerical tables are appended, which have been formed to expedite the calculations of analysis.
The considerable enlargement of the present edition is principally caused by the introduction of a much fuller account of the different reagents than the first edition contained, by an amplification of the second and third divisions on the subject of qualitative analysis, and by the introduction of several important processes for the analysis or valuation of various articles of commerce.
