Synopsis

This book details the quantitative determination of substances using gravimetric and volumetric methods. Gravimetric analysis involves converting an element or acid radicle into a stable compound that is insoluble, which is weighed to calculate the presence of the substance being examined. Volumetric analysis is based on a more rapid process using standard solutions of known strength. A measured volume of a solution of known concentration is used to react with the solution being analyzed, and calculations are made to determine the amount of substance present. The author emphasizes the importance of following orderly and methodical work, complete precipitation, complete washing of precipitates, and all-round cleanliness to ensure accurate results.
