Abstract

THIS book provides a suitable course in volumetric analysis for the higher school certificate examinations. Thus an account is given of the preparation and use of standard solutions of acids, alkalis, potassium permanganate and dichromate, iodine, thiosulphate, and silver nitrate in neutral and acid solution. A concise and clear explanation is also given of the theory of indicators, including adsorption indicators. A useful feature of the book, especially from the point of view of scholarship candidates, is the list of practical problems at the ends of the chapters. Atomic weights, tables of logarithms and an index are given at the end of the book.
