Seite 21 - If, however, the weight of lithium chloride present exceeds ten or twenty milligrams, it is advisable at this point, though not absolutely essential to the attainment of fairly correct results, to decant the liquid from the residue, wash the latter a little with anhydrous amyl alcohol, dissolve in a few drops of water, and repeat the separation by boiling again in amyl alcohol.
Seite 20 - Tht portion for analysis was acidified in platinum with hydrochloric acid and evaporated to dryness. The residue was extracted •with hot water slightly acidulated with hydrochloric acid, the solution was separated from the precipitated silica by filtration, and to the filtrate was added, with care to secure a sufficiency and yet to avoid a great excess, barium hydrate made from the nitrate, itself purified by precipitation by nitric acid. Filtration separated the precipitated hydrates of aluminum,...
Seite 17 - ... and thorough washing of the tube by its own condensations. The retort, somewhat like the well-known drying tube of Liebig in general shape, is easily made of a pipette by bending the tube at one end to a right angle, at the other to a goose-neck, as shown. To the former end is fitted, by a rubber stopper or section of tubing, a glass funnel-tube provided with a stop-cock ; the end of the goose-neck passes tightly through a rubber stopper in the upper end of the condensing tube. This is essentially...
Seite 17 - ... air through the liquid will carry portions of it bodily into the goose-neck and even into the condenser. With this point considered, the remainder of the operation presents no difficulty and requires little care. The size of the retort may be suited, of course, to the particular case in hand, but for most purposes a...
Seite 26 - The filtrate from the ferrous sulphide was acidified strongly with sulphuric acid, heated to the boiling point, and treated with potassium permanganate until its characteristic color appeared. The final products of the action of the permanganate upon the tartaric acid are carbonic acid and water, but formic acid appears as an intermediary step in the oxidation. During the first action of the permanganate its conversion to manganous sulphate is rapid, but with the development of formic acid there...

Seite 441 - Mountains and the River Volga, in the north of England, and in Germany, where it is mined for its treasures of copper, silver, nickel and cobalt ores. It has not heretofore been known to exist in this State, or it had been mistaken for the Triassic system, which is overlying the former to the south-east.
Seite 513 - ... the Laurentian. The probability of the animal origin of the Laurentian apatite is perhaps further strengthened by the prevalence of animals with phosphatic crusts and skeletons in the Primordial age, giving a presumption that in the still earlier Laurentian a similar preference for phosphatic matter may have existed, and, perhaps, may have extended to still lower forms of life...
Seite 17 - The tube of the goose-neck should be wide enough to prevent the formation of bubbles in it; 0.7 cm. is a good measure for the interior diameter. It is of advantage to heat the bath to a point considerably above the temperature at which the liquid which is to be distilled boils, — something between 130° C. and 140° C. does very well for water, and is not too high for methyl alcohol, — and under such circumstances, and when the retort is entirely submerged, it often happens that evaporation takes...
Seite 18 - ... of water were introduced and evaporated between the second and third, and again between the fourth and fifth distillations. When acetic acid was made use of to free the boric acid, the six distillations with methyl alcohol were made as before ; but, sodium acetate being soluble in methyl alcohol, the intermediate treatments with water were unnecessary. With the fourth portion of methyl alcohol a few drops of acetic acid...
