Practical chemistry guidance for identifying and quantifying organic acids and their salts.

This classic reference offers clear methods and tested techniques for analyzing everyday chemical samples, with an emphasis on accuracy and reliability in the lab.

This edition presents step-by-step approaches to detect, separate, and measure acids and their salts in organic materials. It emphasizes practical work, using common reagents and instruments to yield consistent results.

Techniques for identifying acetic acid and acetates, including how to recognize free acid by physical properties and how to test for acetates in solid and solution forms.
Methods to determine acetic acid content, whether by density in simple mixtures or by titration with standard alkali, with guidance on indicators and common pitfalls.
Procedures for handling acetates of metals, their decomposition, and ways to derive the original acid content from residues.
Tips on distinguishing related compounds and applying related reactions to verify results in real samples.

Ideal for students and professionals in chemistry, pharmacy, and industrial analysis who need reliable, hands-on procedures for organic acid analysis.
