Book Description

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Quantitative Chemical Analysis This book is intended primarily for University and College students, and in planning it we have not overlooked the fact that those who study Chemistry as a subsidiary subject usually devote so short a time to it that it is impossible for them to cover any comprehensive course, and that, even when Chemistry is one of the main subjects of study, the student, as a rule, has a strictly limited time for laboratory work. We have endeavoured, therefore, to arrange the book in such a manner that some knowledge of the principles of Quantitative Analysis may be acquired by a practical study of the subjects included in Parts I., II., and III., and that the further requirements of those who are making a special study of Chemistry should be met by the later portions of the book. Volumetric Analysis is dealt with in Part II. Before Gravi metric Analysis, partly because the manipulation is easier, and partly because the exercises in Volumetric Analysis present a greater variety than those in simple Gravimetric Analysis. The educative value of volumetric methods is probably greater than that of any other branch of analysis, and we are of opinion that a student should receive a thorough training in Volumetric Analysis' even if the time remaining at his disposal permits of little or no gravimetric work.
