Electro-Chemical Analysis, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

In preparing this little volume the author has had constantly in view the needs of a large class of students of analytical chemistry desirous of becoming acquainted with the methods of quantitative analysis by electrolysis ;these are daily acquiring greater importance, and being introduced and applied wherever possible. The larger texts devoted to analysis have omitted electrolysis from their pages, thus rendering its special treatment necessary and desirable. The plan adopted in the following pages in presenting this subject has been to give a brief introduction upon the behavior of the current toward the different acids and salts, a short description of the various sources of the electric energy; its control and measurement ;after which follow a condensed history of the introduction of the current into chemical analysis, and sections relating to the determination and separation of metals, as well as the oxidations possible by means of the electric agent. In using this book as a guide, the student is earnestly recommended to perform the determinations of each metal as indicated in the text.
