Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...are evaporated to 25 c.c. and the titration made in the same dish. To guard against loss of chlorine in the evaporation, a small quantity, say 20 milligrams, of sodium carbonate may be added to the water; this amount does not interfere with the accuracy of the titration. Before the titration is made, the sides of the dish above the liquid must be washed down with distilled water free from chlorine, and rubbed with a feather or rubber; washing alone will not dissolve all the chlorides which adhere to the sides of the dish. When the amount of chlorine is very low, a known amount of salt added to the liquid facilitates the titration by making more definite the determination of the end point. Brown surface waters must be decolorized before titration. This is conveniently done by adding a small amount of aluminum hydrate to the water, or by adding a solution of alum and then sodium carbonate, filtering off the precipitate, or decanting the clear fluid after the alumina has settled. If the water is brought nearly to boiling with the alumina, the latter will settle more promptly. The volume of liquid in which the chlorine is determined has an effect on the amount of silver solution used in the titration--the larger the volume, the greater the amount of silver used for the same amount of chlorine present. This has been studied by Mr. Allen Hazen of the Lawrence Experiment Station, and the reader is referred for a statement of his results to the second volume of this report." The Determination Of Toe Residue Of Evaporation And Loss On Ignition. The evaporation to dryness on a water bath of a known volume of water in a weighed platinum dish, and subsequently heating the dish to a temperature of 100 C. in an air bath, gives the total weight of...
