Page 569 - British thermal unit (Btu) = l/180partof the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 32° F.
Page 222 - ... through will vitiate the result by reacting with the excess of ferrous sulphate. As soon as the filtration and washing are completed, the ferrous sulphate should be added and the excess titrated with the permanganate solution, as the permanganic acid gradually decomposes on standing, and the warmer the solution the more rapid is the decomposition. At a temperature of 5° C. the solution will remain unaltered for several hours, but at 40° C. fifteen minutes will show an appreciable change. The...
Page 305 - After settling, decant the solution into a porcelain dish or hard glass beaker. Very small quantities of the sediment passing over will do no harm. Wash the insoluble residue onto a filter with hot water and continue the washing until free from chlorids, adding the washings to the original solution for evaporation. Oxidize the organic matter present in the solution with a few drops of nitric acid and evaporate to dryness on a water bath. Take up with hot water and a few cubic centimeters of hydrochloric...
Page 537 - ALLOWANCE FOR TEMPERATURE The coefficient of expansion for Ammonia Solutions, varying with the temperature, correction must be applied according to the following table: Corrections to be added for each degree below 60° F.
Page 461 - ... per cent lead acetate solution, and enough of a strong solution of ammonium acetate to neutralize the nitric acid present and substitute acetic acid for it. The object is to precipitate the vanadium as lead vanadate in an acetic acid solution. The ammonium acetate solution may be made by mixing 80 cc of strong ammonia, 100 cc of water, and 70 cc of acetic acid 99 per cent pure.
Page 569 - The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of the weight of a given volume of that substance to the weight of an equal volume of another substance, whose specific gravity is assumed to be unity (1).
Page 198 - If the material dissolves in water, the water solution is treated with 5 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and a few crystals of potassium chlorate and the liquor boiled.
Page 202 - B can be seen, thus preventing interference of light reflected from the vertical sides of the tubes A and B. A person looking through the eye-piece observes a single circular field divided vertically by an almost imperceptible line when the two solutions are of the same intensity. By manipulating the plunger D, the level of the liquid in B can be easily raised or lowered, thus causing the right half of the image to assume a darker or lighter shade at will. In matching colors with an ascending column...
Page 206 - C" is washed into a beaker and acidified with 20 cc. of nitric acid and 5 cc. of hydrochloric acid. The solution is evaporated to dryness on the steam bath. The residue is dissolved in 200 cc.
Page 241 - ... gram Water 1000 cc. VOLUMETRIC METHOD. The molybdenum sulphide precipitates and papers are treated in a 250 cc. beaker with 6 cc. of sulphuric acid and 10 cc. of nitric acid, and the liquid is boiled until strong fumes of sulphur trioxide are emitted. After allowing it to cool, 5 cc. of nitric acid are added, and the evaporation is repeated. The evaporation with 5 cc. portions of strong nitric acid is repeated several times, until the filter paper has been completely destroyed and all traces...
