McGraw Hill Financial, Inc. is an American publicly traded corporation headquartered in Rockefeller Center in New York City. Its primary areas of business are financial, publishing, and business services.
A method of determining trace quantities of water by titration; the Karl Fischer reagent is added in small increments to a glass flask containing the sample until the color changes from yellow to brown or a change in potential is observed at the end point.
Industry:Chemistry
Quantitative analysis of organic compounds to determine nitrogen content by interaction with concentrated sulfuric acid; ammonia is distilled from the NH<sub>4</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> formed.
Industry:Chemistry
Microdetermination of carbon and hydrogen in organic compounds; the sample is prepyrolyzed (cracked) in a shortage of oxygen, then oxidized in an excess of oxygen.
Industry:Chemistry
Procedure to identify compounds in gas chromatography; the behavior of a compound is indicated by its position on a scale of normal alkane values (for example, methane _ 100, ethane_ 200).
Industry:Chemistry
A device used for emission flame photometry in which a compressed air aspirator vaporizes the solution within a chamber; smaller droplets are carried into the fuel-gas stream and to the burner orifice where the solvent is evaporated, dissociated, and optically excited.
Industry:Chemistry
A test for the presence of arsenic in a compound; the substance to be tested is mixed with granular zinc, and dilute hydrochloric acid is added to the mixture; gaseous arsine forms, which decomposes to a black deposit of arsenic, when the gas is passed through a heated glass tube. Also known as Marsh-Berzelius test.
Industry:Chemistry
Titration with silver nitrate to determine the concentration of chlorides in a solution; silver chromate precipitation is the end-point indicator.
Industry:Chemistry
Mercuric iodide-potassium iodide solution, used to analyze for small amounts of ammonia.
Industry:Chemistry
Standardized glass tubes for filling with standard solution colors for visual color comparison with similar tubes filled with solution samples.
Industry:Chemistry
Gas analysis apparatus in which various gases are absorbed selectively (volumetric basis) by passing them through a series of preselected solvents.
