PREFACE

In compliance with the requests of hundreds of our friends for


a small but comprehensive book of reference on chemical and
physical topics, we have designed and compiled this Hanibooks
of Chemistry and Physics.
In its new and revised form we have aimed to present in
one compact, easily portable volume a comparatively compre
Kensive reference book for use in the laboratory or classroom .
While more complete and broader in scope than the reference
material ordinarily found in the laboratory manual, it is still
not a competitor of themany large and complete reference books
already published , but fills, we believe, a place not hitherto
occupied by any publication in this country.
We shall feel amply rewarded for our effort and expense if
this volume proves to be of use and convenience to the pro
fession whose support has been a conspicuous factor in the
growth of our establishment.
The material here included has been carefully selected by
W . R . Veazey, Ph. D ., of the Chemistry Department, and Charles
D . Hodgman, B . S., of the Department of Physics of the Case
School of Applied Science. The compilers have been guided
in their selections by the suggestions of more than a thousand
members of high standing in the Chemical and Physicalprofession .
A large number of the tables are the result of compilation
from various sources: the original authority or the source of
information being stated where possible. Special mention
should be made of the use of the “ Smithsonian Physical Tables,”
from which several tables have been taken without alteration ,
while others are partly compiled from similar tables in that vol
ume. We are also indebted to Julius Springer, publisher of
the “ Chemiker Kalender, ” a reference-book of more than a
thousand pages, for permission to use certain material.
Material has also been copied by special permission
PREFACE
from the following: Collins, “ The Design and Construction of
Induction Coils,” Munn and Co., publisher ; Miller, “ Lab
oratory Physics,” Ginn and Co., publisher ; Noyes , “ Qualita
tive Analysis,” McMillan and Co ., publisher; Perkins, " Intro
duction to General Thermodynamics,” John Wiley and Sons,
publisher; Talbot, “ Quantitative Analysis," MacMillan and
Co., publisher; Young, “ General Astronomy,” Ginn and Co.,
publisher.
For general reference and to supply occasional numerical
values use has been made of the following standard works:
Landolt - Börnstein - Meyerhoffer, “ Physikalisch - chemische
Tabellen " ; " Recueil de Constantes Physiques” ; The Standard
Dictionary .
We desire to express our appreciation and thanks to the
many persons who have co -operated with us in the preparation
of this book .

1. Any metal will replace any other metal, belove it in the series, from
solutions of its salts, thus:
Fe + CuSO4 = FeSO4 + Cu
Zn + FeSO4 = ZnSO4 + Fe
Fe + 2HCI = FeCl2 + H2
Zn + H2SO4 = ZnSO4 + H2
Cu + HCI = No action . Cu insoluble .
Ag + HCI No action . Ag insoluble .
Cu + (dilute ) H2SO4 = No action .
Ag + CuSO4 = No action. Ag below Cu .
Note . It is true that dilute and conc. HNO3 and hot conc. H2SO4 will
dissolve most of the metals. When they thus dissolve metals below hydrogen
in the series, the action is an oxidizing one, and the acids are reduced to
NO and SO2 respectively . The metal is first oxidized to the oxide, the
acid being thus at the same time reduced , and the oxide thus formed then
reacts with the acid molecule present, and goes into solution as a salt .
Cu + (dilute ) H2SO4 = No action .
(b ) Cu + 2 (hot conc.) H2SO4 = CuSO4 + 502 + 2H20 .
In (b ), the Cu is first converted to Cuo , thus
Cu + H2SO4 = CuO + H20 + 502,
then the CuO reacts with another molecule of H2SO4, thus
CuO + H2SO4 = CuSO4 + H20 .
3Cu + 2HNO3 = 3Cu ( + 2NO + H2O
3CuO + 6HNO3 = 3Cu (NO3)2 + 3120
Added 3Cu + SHNO3 = 3Cu (NO3) 2 + 2NO + 4H2O .
2 In Regard to Ease of Reduction of Oxides . The metallic oxides down
to and including Mn can not be completely reduced to the metal state ,
even in a current of hydrogen . The oxides of Cd and succeeding metals
are easily reduced , and far down the list , the oxides of silver , platinum ,
mercury , and gold are reduced (decomposed into metal and oxygen ) even
by heat alone.
3 . In Regard to Ease of Rusting. (Oxidation in the Air.) - The alkali and
alkaline- earth metals rust very rapidly and with considerable evolution
of heat. All the metals down to copper rust with comparative ease .
The metals below copper do not rust . Assuming the electrolytic theory
of the process of rusting to be true , these facts are just about what might
have been predicted .
4 . In Regard to the Occurence of the Metals in the Free State in Nature .
Natural waters are frequently dilute solutions of carbonic, nitric, humic.
etc. , acids. As such they contain displaceable hydrogen . Metals above
hydrogen in the E . M . F . series scarcely , if ever, occur in the free state
in nature, but are practically without exception found in the combined
state , as sulphides, carbonates, etc. Metals below hydrogen are frequently
found in the free state in nature . Thus gold is found in the form of nuggets
of metallic gold . However, metals below hydrogen are also found in the
combined state, as cinnabar , HgS , etc .
5 . In Regard to Action of the Metals on Water. - The alkali and
alkaline-earths metal displace hydrogen from water, even in the cold ,
72
HANDBOOK OP CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS

and with evolution of much heat. Mg and succeeding metals will dig.
place hydrogen from steam . Metals at the bottom of the list will not
disp! In Rhydrogen
displace eges havefrom steam .
6 . In Regard to the Solubility and Stability of Hydroxides. - The alkali
metal oxides have great avidity for water, forming hydroxides. The
alkaline- earth metal oxides react with less readiness , forming hydroxides .
MgO reacts slowly and incompletely with water , forming the hydroxide .
All the other metallic oxides and hydroxides are insoluble in water and
have no perceptible reaction therewith . When a solution of NaOH acts on
solutions of salts of the metals , the alkali metal salts are not precipitated .
The alkaline -earth metal salts are not precipitated unless in very con
centrated solution . All the other metal solutions are acted upon , with
precipitation of hydroxides, except in the case of copper which first gives
copper hydroxide (blue) , and which , on warming, changes to copper oxide
(black ) . Also in the case of arsenic , no precipitate falls , sodium arsenite
being formed . In the case of the last metals in the series, the oride is
precipitated
le , instead
d of
on the hydroxide, thus NaOH acting on salts of Sb ,
solubAg, Pd,
Hg,
r
RegaPt, and i
t causes
EcepAu, , dises aa pprecipitation
ri of the orides of these metals .
Bismuth , as an exception , gives a normal hydroxide .
7 . In Regard to Carbonates. — The alkali metals form normal stable ,
soluble carbonates, not easily decomposed on heating. The alkaline-earth
metals form normal carbonates , which are insoluble in water, and which
decompose upon heating , leaving the oxide , carbon dioxide being evolved .
When sodium carbonate solution acts on solutions of all the other metals ,
as a rule , a basic carbonate is precipitated , being insoluble in water, and
decomposed by heat into oxide and carbon dioxide. If the solution is cold ,
Ag, Hg, Cd , Fe, and Mn give normal carbonates . It the solution is warm ,
Sb , Hg, Ag, Pd , Pt, and Au give a precipitate of the oride, instead of the
carbonate , thus showing the instability of the carbonates of the lowest
metals in the series.
8 . In Regard to Voltaic Cells . - In choosing metals to acts as electrodes
in voltaic cells, the farther apart the metals chosen , the greater the electro
motive force of the voltaic cell. Thus the Al-Au couple gives a greater
E . M . F . than the Zn -Cu couple .

ELASTIC CONSTANTS FOR GASES


For short ranges of pressure , at a constant temperature , the volume of
& gas is inversely proportional to the pressure or pressure X volume = a
constant. (Boyle 's Law .)
For high pressures, the table below shows the relative volumes at various
temperatures . The volume at 0° C . and 76 cm . pressure ( 1 atmosphere )
being taken as 1 ,000 ,000 .

REDUCTION OF PSYCHROMETRIC OBSERVATION


For the reduction of observations with the wet and dry bulb thermometer. "
Assuming the relative velocity of the air to the thermometer bulbs is at least
three meters per second ; if t is the temperature of the air as indicated by thė
dry bulb , tw , the temperature of the wet bulb , B , the barometric pressure, and
Ex , the vapor tension of water corresponding to tw then the actualvapor ten
sion is
E = Ew - 0 . 00066B (t – tw [ 1 + 0 . 00115(t - tw ].
The value of the term
: 0.00066B(t –(w)[1 +0 .00115(t – tw )] .

THERMOELECTRIC POWER
The table gives the electromotive force in microvolts per degree difference
in temperature between the two junctions, for various metals with lead .
The temperature given is the mean temperature of the two junctions.
A is the thermo-electric power at 0 ° C . and B the coefficient in the equa
tion for the thermoelectric power at any temperature ,

Q = A + Bt,
where t is the mean temperature of the two junctions. The thermo
electric power of any two metals in the table may be found by subtracting
the value for the first from that of the second , a positive difference indicating
that the current will fiow from the cold to the hot junction in the second
metal .
The sign of the values given is so chosen that if A is positive the cur
rent flows in the metal listed from the cold to the hot junction . When B
is positive Q increases with the temperature .

HALL EFFECT
If a strip of metal of thickness t, in which a current i is flowing (longi
tudinally ) is subjected to a transverse magnetic field H , a difference of poten
tial E is produced at opposite points at the side of the strip . E = RX Hilt
where R is a constant specific with different metals and E , H , i and tin C . G . S .
units. The table gives values obtained at ordinary room temperatures,
18 - 21° C . If the value of R is independent of the field , or nearly so , the
field intensity is not given . The positive sign indicates that if a strip of
metal were considered to be in the plane of this page with its long axis
horizontal, the primary current flowing from left to right and the magnetic
field directed away from the observer, normal to the plane of the strip ,
the upper edge of the strip would be at a higher potential than the lower.

a RAYS
The a rays are thought to be positively charged particles,
moving with a high velocity . They are only slightly deviable
by a strong magnetic or electric field and have small penetrating
power. The initial velocity has been found to be about 2 X 109
cms. / s . The mass of each particle is 6 . 2 X 10 – 24 g . (Rutherford
and Geiger, 1910 . ) The charge carried by each , as measured by
the same authors, is 9.3x10 - 10 electro static units.

B RAYS
The B rays are similar to the cathode rays produced by an
electric discharge in a vacuum tube. They are judged to be
negatively charged particles moving with high velocity . They
are much more penetrating than the a rays, and are strongly
deviated by a magnetic or electric field . The velocity of the
moving particle is in the neighborhood of that of light, about
2X1010 cm . / s . The charge on each particle is approximately
4 . 7 X 10 - 10 electro static units .

y RAYS
The y rays are similar to the X rays and are not deviable
by magnetic or electric fields. They are more penetrating than
either the a or B rays, and are considered to be of the nature
of wave pulses in the ether .

RÖNTGEN RAYS
SCALE OF HARDNESS
The “ radiochrometer ” of Benoist consists of a disk of silver
0 .11 mm . thick , which is surrounded by 12 sectors of aluminum
ranging in thickness from 1 to 12 millimeters. The sector
which shows the same absorption as the central disk gives the
degree of hardness according to Benoist. The relation of this
to other scales is shown below .
Benoist .. . . . . . . . . ...

The absorption of rays is very nearly proportional to the
mass of substance penetrated .

For every 5° F . by which the temperature is less than 50° F ., ald one
per cent to the tabular refraction , and decrease it in the same ratio for
temperatures above 50° F .
Increase the tabular refraction by three and a half per cent for every
inch of barometric pressure above 29 .6 inches, and decrease it in the same
ratio below that point. These corrections for temperature and pressure ,
though only approximate , will give a result correct within 2" except in
extreme cases.

DEFINITIONS AND FORMULÆ
FUNDAMENTAL CHEMICAL LAWS
Scientific laws are statements of facts which have been estab
lished by direct experiment.
Boyle's Law for Gases. - At a constant temperature the vol
ume of a given quantity of any gas varies inversely as the pressure
to which the gas is subjected . This idea is expressed in the fol
lowing formulæ :
PV = a constant, or P = 1 / V , or V = 1 / P , or PV = P Vi
The Law of Combining Weights. - If the weights of elements
which combine with each other be called their “ combining
weights," then elements always combine either in the ratio of
their combining weights or of simple multiples of these weights.
Law of Definite Proportions. - In every sample of each com
pound substance the proportions by weight of the constituent
elements are always the same.
Dalton ' s Law of Partial Pressures. — The pressure exerted by
a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the separate pressures
which each gaswould exert if it alone occupied the whole volume.
This fact is expressed in the following formula :
PV = V (pı + p: + ps, etc.)
Faraday 's Law . — The amounts of decomposition effected by
the passage of equal quantities of electricity through them are,
for the same electrolyte , equal, and for different electrolytes are
proportional to the combining weights of the elements or radicles
which are deposited .
Gay -Lussac' s Law forGases (or Charles ' Law ) . – At a constant
pressure, the volume of a given quantity of any gas increases
about 1 / 273 of its volume at 0° C . for each rise of 1º-C . and at
constant volume the pressure of a given quantity of any gas
increases about 1 / 273 of the pressure at 0° C . for each rise of
Gay -Lussac' s Law of Combining Volumes. - If gases interact
and form a gaseous product , the volumes of the reacting gases
and the volumes of the gaseous products are to each other in .
very simple proportions, which can be expressed by small whole
numbers .
Hess' Law of Constant Heat Summation . The amount of
heat generated by a chemical reaction is the same whether
reaction takes place in one step or in several steps, or all chemical
reactions which start with the same original substances, and end
with the same final substances, liberate the same amounts of
heat, irrespective of the process by which the final state is
reached .
Henry's Law . — The amount of gas which a liquid will dissolve
is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas. This holds
for all gases which do not unite chemically with the solvent.
196
HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
The Law of Mass Action . – At a constant temperature the
product of the active masses on one side of a chemical equation
when divided by the product of the active masses on the other
side of the chemical equation is a constant, regardless of the
amounts of each substance present at the beginning of the action .
Law of Multiple Proportions. — Two elements may combine
in more than one proportion by weight, but if so , the weights of
one element which combine with a fixed weight of the other
element, are always in a simple ratio to each other.
The Periodic Law . – The physical and chemical properties of
the elements are functions of their atomic weights , and most
of these properties are periodic functions of the atomic weights.

FUNDAMENTAL CHEMICAL THEORIES


A scientific hypothesis is an endeavor to form a rational
mental picture of the causes which lead to a group of observed
facts even though these causes may not be subject to direct
proof.
A scientific theory is an hypothesis whose consequences have
been so thoroughly tested by experiment that it has become
generally accepted as the correct explanation for a group of facts.
The Atomic Theory . — All elementary formsofmatter are com
posed of very small unit quantities called atoms. The atoms
of a given element all have the same size and weight. The
atoms of different elements have different size and weight.
Atoms of the same or different elements unite with each other
to form very small unit quantities of compound substances
called molecules .
Avogadro' s Theory . Equal volumes of all gases under the
same conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal
numbers of molecules.
The Electrolytic Dissociation or Ionization Theory. — When an
acid , base or salt is dissolved in water or any other dissociating
solvent, a part or all of the molecules of the dissolved substance
are broken up into parts called ions, some of which are charged
with positive electricity and are called cations, and an equivalent
number of which are charged with negative electricity and are
called anions.
Electrolytic Solution Tension Theory (or the Helmholtz Double
Layer Theory ). - When a metal, or any other substance capable
of existing in solution as ion is placed in water or any other dis
sociating solvent, a part of the metal or other substance passes
into solution in the form of ions, thus leaving the remainder of
the metal or substance charged with an equivalent amount of
electricity of opposite sign from that carried by the ions. This
establishes a difference in potential between the metal and the
solvent in which it is immersed .
The Electron Theory . - An atom of any element consists of a
definite number of unit negative charges of electricity moving
in orbits inside the atom with velocities which approach the
velocity of light.

LABORATORY ARTS AND RECIPES
ACID PROOF WOOD STAIN
SOLUTION No. 1
125 grams of copper sulphate
125 grams of potassium chlorate
1000 grams of water
SOLUTION No. 2
150 grams of good fresh anilin oil
180 grams of concentrated hydrochloric acid
1000 grams of water
Wood must be free from paint, varnish , grease or chemicals .
Apply two coats of solution No. 1 boiling hot with a paint brush ,
allowing each coat to dry thoroughly before the next coat is
applied . Then apply two coats of solution No. 2 in the same
way . When the wood is completely dried wash off excess chem
icals with hot soapsuds. Finish with raw linseed oil. Polish
comes from rubbing the oil down well with a cloth or sponge .
Whenever the tables get dingy again go over them with a coat
of linseed oil and rub smooth .
CEMENTS
Glues of all kinds are useful for wood , leather, paper and
glass, where the joints are not required to be waterproof. .
For waterproof joints of nearly all substances, including
metals , shellac may be used . Flakes of solid shellac may be
used with heat or it may be used as a solution in alcohol.
Kotinsky cement, Chatterton 's compound and other resinous
cements are used for similar purposes and in the same way as
solid shellac. Glass cells made up with compounds of this nature
may be made impervious to alcohol by painting over the joints
with a rubber cement made by melting up small pieces of rubber
tubing and adding carbon disulphide to make a thin syrup .
For celluloid a cement made by dissolving celluloid shavings
in acetone is recommended .
Brass fittings are usually cemented on glass tubing with
sealing wax. The glass tube should be wound with thread or
twine to secure a close fit. The glass and the brass fitting
should be warmed slightly above the melting-point of wax.
( Thick , or pressed glass should be warmed slowly .) Wax may
be applied to both parts and the thread well saturated with the
melted wax . Enough should be used to insure filling the space
224
HANDBOOK OF CIIEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
completely . Join the parts while the wax is very soft and clamp
in position until it is thoroughly cold .
For optical purposes, cementing glass , etc., Canada balsam
is universally employed , and makes a permanent and nearly
invisible joint.
CLEANING MERCURY
Mercury may be cleaned sufficiently for many laboratory
purposes without distilling . Allow the mercury to fall in a fine
spray into a quantity of dilute nitric acid , 25 parts of acid to
75 parts distilled water. After being passed through the acid
one or more times it should be passed through distilled water
and dried . Most of the water may be removed with a clean
filter, and the mercury heated in a porcelain dish to about
110° C . To produce the spray the stem of a glass funnel may
be drawn down so as to leave only a small opening for the escape
of mercury or a glass tube with a capillary point attached to a
funnel with a tightly fitting rubber tube.
A three- to four-foot length of one -inch glass tube closed at
one end and supported in a vertical position may be used to
contain the acid solution . If a small glass tube be fused into
the Jower closed end of the large tube, and bent so as to stand
up for a distance a little greater than 1 / 13 . 6 , the column of acid
solution in the large tube, a U -tube is formed in which a short
column of mercury supports the long column of acid solution .
The end of the small tube should be bent over at the top
so as to facilitate the delivery of the mercury and a short piece
of clean rubber tubing with a pinch -cock put on at the start;
as soon as mercury enough has collected in the bottom of the
tube the pinch -cock may be opened . The mercury will rise
nearly or quite to the top of the small tube, and as the quantity
increases will be delivered from the small tube as fast as it falls
in the spray .
The reversed end of the small tube should be short to avoid
forming a siphon , which would completely empty the apparatus.
An efficient procedure , especially if the mercury is greasy ,
consists in spraying the mercury by means of the above appa
ratus, first, through a dilute solution ( 10 % ) of potassium hy .
droxide, then through dilute nitric acid (10 - 15 % ) and finally
through distilled water.
CLEANING OPTICAL SURFACES FOR SILVERING
(From Miller's Laboratory Physics, Ginn & Co ., publishers ,by permission .)
Probably the most important part of the silvering process is
the proper cleaning of the surface to be silvered .
The surface is thoroughly cleaned of grease or other organic
matter by the usual methods, using alcohol or chromic acid .
Then it should be carefully cleaned with strong nitric acid ,
the whole surface being firmly rubbed with pure cotton tied to
a rod of wood or glass. Care should be taken not to injure the
surface . Rinse with water, and then wash the surface thor
oughly with a strong solution of caustic potash , rubbing with a
225
HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
cotton brush as before. Finally , rinse with distilled water,
and keep the surface wet until it is placed in the silvering solu
tion . If the distilled water wets the whole surface uniformly
the cleaning may be sufficient; if it does not wet uniformly , the
operations must be repeated . The fingers should not touch
the edges of the glass during the latter cleaning operations,
as a layer of organic matter is apt to spread over the surface
and render the silvering uneven .
Dr. Brashear recommends that the surface, after the washings
described above, be rubbed with prepared chalk on a cotton
wad until it is thoroughly dry and clean . It may then be put
into the silvering solution at one's convenience.

COLORED LIQUIDS
For rendering columns of water easily visible , add a few
drops of one per cent alcoholic solution of fluorescein to a liter
of water. The dilute solution of fluorescein is bright green by
reason of its fluorescence, although colorless by transmitted
light.
A small quantity of an aqueous ( 1 % ) solution of uranine
(the sodium salt of fluorescein ) may be used in place of the
alcoholic solution mentioned above .
If solutions showing color by transmission are desired , dilute
aqueous may be made with any of the following dyes :
Dye Color
Erythrosine Pink
Eosine Pink (green fluorescence )
Rhodamine B Pink (red fluorescence )
Ponceau 2R Scarlet
Naphthol green Green
Methylene green Bluish green
Methylene blue Blue
Methyl violet Purple

CROSS HAIRS
The spider lines which serve as an index in reading telescopes
may be quickly replaced in an emergency by single silk fibers
(from ordinary sewing silk ) attached by soft wax. Single fibers
may easily be removed from an untwisted strand .
Spider web should be used in permanent work . The fibers
of the egg nest of certain species are employed and may be ob
tained of most dealers in scientific apparatus. In mounting
them the following suggestions may be useful: The cross hair
diaphragm of the telescope should be removed and clamped in
a horizontal position . A bow of brass wire, about No. 28 ,
should be employed to stretch the fiber. A background of black
velvet makes the fibers more easily visible . With soft wax
or other convenient adhesive ready on both tips of the bow ,
a fiber of the required length is to be disentangled with tweezers
and wrapped several times about the ends of the bow under
tension sufficient to straighten the fiber . The fiber, now con
226
HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PILYSICS
veniently handled by the wire bow , should be cautiously lowered
onto the diaphragm in the proper position , the wire left hanging.
A small drop of shellac varnish applied at each side will hold
the fiber in position as soon as it is thoroughly dry, after which
the ends of the fiber should be cut away .
FLUORESCENT SCREENS )
For observations of the ultra-violet spectrum , moisten a small
quantity of anthracene with water and brush a thin layer over
a ground -glass surface. On drying most of the anthracene will
adhere to the glass. The prepared surface should be placed
so as to receive the radiation directly , glass being comparatively
opaque to the shorter wave lengths.

direction , finish with fine emery .
LABELS FOR BOTTLES
Ordinary gummed labels written upon , preferably , with India
ink ,may be protected after being gummed to the bottle by a coat
of lacquer or varnish . A more complete protection is obtained
by painting the label, after it is in place , with melted paraflin .
MIRRORS FOR SPECTROMETER ADJUSTMENT
A small square of thick plate glass with edges ground smooth
and silvered on one surface affords a means of accurate adjust
ment.
To avoid the necessity of frequently resilvering , which arises
where the mirrors are in constant use , the following course is
suggested :
From selected German plate mirror 2 to 3 mm . thick , cut
two pieces of the same size , say 4 X5 cm . Remove the pro
tective layer of varnish or paint from both pieces by soaking
in alcohol and rubbing with cotton , being careful not to injure
the silver surface. From one piece remove every trace of varnish
by repeated rinsing, dry and polish the silver surface thus exposed
by stroking lightly with a chamois rouge pad . From the other
piece remove the silver by nitric acid , wash thoroughly in dis
tilled water and dry. Cement the clear piece on the silver face
of the other with Canada balsam . This is accomplished by
placing two or three drops of Canada balsam in xylol (ob
tained in collapsible tubes) on the center of the silver face, and
227
ILANDBOOK OF CHIEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
evenly lowering upon it the clear glass . The balsam should
spread rapidly to the edges of the plates. Minute bubbles of
air in the balsam film are harmless; if large bubbles are present
the plates should be slipped apart, cleaned with alcohol and the
process repeated .
The balsam will be sufficiently hard in a few days to allow
the excess to be scraped from the edges and the plates bound
together with lantern slide binding strip . Gentle heat may be
used to harden the balsam more rapidly .

POLARITY TEST PAPER


Dissolve one gram of phenolphthalein in a small quantity
of alcohol. Add the solution of phenolphthalein to 100 c .cm .
of a 10 per cent solution of potassium chloride in distilled water.
Filter paper should be soaked in the solution and dried . A
strip of paper moistened with water and placed in contact with
the two terminals will show a bright red stain at the negative
terminal.
SILVERING GLASS

í For silvering , the mirror may rest face up on the bottom of
a suitable dish ; it may stand on edge, or be supported in any
manner, face downward, dipping into the upper part of the
solution . In the latter case, the mirror may be fastened with
wax to a stick laid across the dish , or it may be supported on
glass feet or on paraffined wood wedges. Dr. Brashear recom
mends that the mirror, if round , form the bottom of the silvering
dish , which is completed by wrapping a strip of paraffined paper
around the edge of the mirror, this being held in place by rubber
bands or fastened with several wrappings of cord .
Having selected a dish and support for the mirror, measure
with water the quantity of solution that will be required to
make a layer a centimeter or two thick over the surface to
be silvered . For each 150 c.cm . of final solution , 1 g . of
silver nitrate and 0 . 5 g . of caustic potash (purified by alcohol)
will be required . Dissolve the silver and potash separately ,
using quantities of water of the proportion of 100 c. cm . to 1 g.
228
HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
of the solid . Ordinary graduates or flasks are the most con
venient form of vessel in which to mix the solutions. Into the
silver nitrate solution pour a few drops of dilute aqua ammonia .
The solution will turn to a dark brown color ; add ammonia
little by little till the precipitate is nearly but not quite re
dissolved . Now add the potash solution , when a precipitate
will again be formed . This is to be nearly, but not entirely , re
dissolved by the addition of more ammonia, a few drops being
sufficient this time. After the ammonia has been added shake
or stir the solution well and wait a minute or two to be certain
that it does not entirely clear. If by chance too much ammonia
has been used , a little silver nitrate is to be dissolved and added ,
a few drops at a time, till a permanent precipitate is formed .
This excess of silver must be present, the solution showing a
decided brown tint. The solution may be filtered , though
usually this is not necessary .
A quantity of reducing solution equal to about a twenty - fifth
part of the solution just prepared is measured out. The mirror,
having been properly cleaned and rinsed with distilled water, is
placed in position . The reducing solution is poured into the
silver and potash solution , and mixed by a quick shaking of
the graduate or stirring with a glass rod ; the whole is then
poured into the dish . If the mirror is immersed face down,
care is necessary to remove air bubbles ; the mirror may well be
immersed aſter the solution is in , being dipped in at one side
first . If the mirror is at the bottom of the dish , after cleaning
it is covered with a thin layer of water, and the prepared solu
. tions are poured into the dish without further trouble . In
the latter case the dish must be rocked during the time of de
position .
The solution soon turns to a black color, which in a few minutes
will turn to a brown; and when it becomes a light gray and the
precipitate is flocculent, which may be in ten or fifteen minutes,
the operation is at an end . If the mirror is allowed to remain
in the solution too long, the surface will have a bleached appear
ance, which polishing will hardly remove. Remove the mirror,
rinse with water, and carefully wipe off the sediment with a
tuft of absorbent cotton . It is then set on edge to dry ; a rins
ing with alcohol will facilitate the drying, or all water may be
safely taken up by pressing clean blotting paper over the surface.
When dry, the surface may be polished , if necessary, with a
small pad of chamois leather stuffed with cotton , on which is
spread a little rouge. Small, círcular strokes of the pad, with
light pressure, will soon bring out the deep luster of the silver.
A uniform temperature of the bath and the glass, of about
20° is essential to success.
Since fulminating silver is liable to be produced by the action
of ammonia on silver oxide, especially in a warm room , all solu
tions should be thrown away as soon as the silvering operation
is completed . The used solutions may be poured into a large
jar, in which is thrown some common salt ; this causes the silver
to be precipitated as the chloride, and about 90 per cent of the
original silver may be recovered .

ROCHELLE Salts PROCESS


(From Miller 's Laboratory Physics, Ginn & Co., publishers, by permission .)
For depositing the uniform thin film of silver required on the
half- silvered glass of the interferometer, the following method
is more suitable than the one described above, as the silver is
deposited more slowly. If a thick film is desired, two or more
successive deposits may be made, each of which may require an
hour' s time.
Dissolve 5 g . of silver nitrate in 300 c .cm . of distilled water,
and add. dilute aqua ammonia until the precipitate formed is
nearly, but not entirely , redissolved in the manner explained in
the preceding method . Filter the solution and add water to
make 500 c .cm .
Dissolve one g . of silver nitrate in a small quantity of water
and pour into about half a liter of boiling water ; dissolve 0 . 83 g .
of Rochelle salts in a small quantity of water, and add to the
boiling solution . Continue the boiling for half an hour, till the
gray precipitate collects as a powder in the bottom of the flask .
Filter hot, and add water to make 500 c .cm .
These solutions may be kept in the dark for a month or two.
For silvering , equal volumes of the two solutions are mixed ,
and the glass is supported in the mixture in whatever fashion
is convenient. Various methods are mentioned in the preceding
article. The thickest possible deposit may require an hour's
time. A second deposit may be made upon the first if necessary
to secure the desired thickness . The drying and polishing may
be carried out as described above.
A half-silvered film will be produced in about a minute; only
experience can determine when the proper thickness has been
secured . The glass appears as though it were very lightly
- smoked . A film that reflects a little more than half the light
incident at 45° is desirable for interferometer use. A simple
method of testing is to look at two similar gas flames , one seen
through the film and the other seen reflected by it. It is well
to silver at once all four surfaces of the two plane-parallel plates
of the interferometer and to select for use that film which is of
the proper and most uniform thickness .

PROBLEMS
THE METHOD OF SOLVING CHEMICAL PROBLEMS
(From Talbot's Quantitative Analysis ,by permission.)
Detailed solutions of a few typical problems are given below .
The student should study these carefully , and assure himself that
they are fully understood .
1 . A “ chemical factor” expresses the ratio between a specific
quantity of a chemical compound and the equivalent quantity of
some other body . For example , if it is wished to determine the
weight of sulphur which corresponds to a specific weight of barium
sulphate, the latter is multiplied by the factor, or ratio , repre
S 32.07 = 0 . 1373. It may also
sented by the fraction i on Baso , or 233 .50 –
233.5 32.07
be expressed by the proportion BaSO4 : S = wt. BaSO , : x , from
which it is plain that x = 9. wt. BaSO4.
Again , if the weight of FeO in Fe2O3 is desired, the factor
hormos 2 FeO _ 144 .04
honom
A _= 00
0 . 9000. Similarly, the factor for the
omes Fe2O3 = 160.04 =
· K ,0
94 .22 == 00. 0 . 632
ga The lo

conversion of KCl to K20 is - 149.12
rithmic equivalents of these values are called log factors.
In the calculation of these factors, the atomic or molecular
relations of the two substances must be kept clearly in mind ;
thus, it is plainly incorrect
Fe
to express the ratio of ferrous to ferric
l
oxide by the fraction Fe2O3,
o - since each molecule of the higher
oxide must correspond to two molecules of the lower. Careless
ness in this respect is one of themost frequent sources of error.
2 . To calculate the volume of a reagent required for a specific
operation , it is necessary to know the exact reaction which is to
be brought about, and, as with the calculation of factors, to keep
in mind the molecular relations between the reagent and the
substance reacted upon . For example , to estimate the weight of
barium chloride necessary to precipitate the sulphur from 0 . 1 gram
488.70
of pure pyrite (FeS2), the proportion should stand 2BaClg. 2 H20 :
120.16
FeS2 = x : 0 . 1, where x represents the weight of the chloride
* Talbot's " Quantitative Analysis."
297
HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
required . Each of the two atoms of sulphur will form a mole
cule of sulphuric acid upon oxidation , which , in turn , will require
a molecule of the barium chloride for precipitation . To deter
mine the quantity of the barium chloride required , it is necessary
to include in its molecular weight the water of crystallization ,
since this is inseparable from the chloride when it is weighed .
This applies equally to other similar instances.
If the strength of an acid is expressed in percentage by weight,
due regard must be paid to its specific gravity . For example ,
hydrochloric acid (sp . gr. 1.12) contains 23.8 per cent HCl by
weight; i.e ., 0 . 2666 gram .
3 . No rules for universal application to “ indirect gravimetric
analyses” can be laid down . A single example will be explained .
Given a mixture of KCl + NaCl weighing 0 . 15 gram , which
contains 53 per cent chlorine, to calculate the weight of KCI
and NaCl in the mixture.
The weight of chlorine in the mixture is (0 . 15 x 0.53) or 0 .0795
gram . Assuming that this chlorine was all in combination with
potassium , the corresponding weight of KCI would be 0 . 1672
gram (Cl : KCl = 0 .0795 : 0 . 1672 ). This is an excess of 0 .0172
gram over the actual weight of the mixture, and it is plain that
this difference is occasioned by the replacement of certain of the
molecules of potassium chloride, weighing 74. 56 units, by mole
cules of sodium chloride weighing 58.50 units. To express this ,
let it be supposed that the mixture is made up of n molecules
74.56
KCl and n ' molecules NaCl; then it may be said that n KCl +
58.50 74 .56 74.56
n ' NaCl = 0 .15 gram , and n KCl + n ' KCl = 0 . 1672 gram , then
by subtracting the first equation from the second it is shown
74 .56 58. 50
that n ' (KCI - NaCl) = 0 .0172 gram . That is, the difference in
weight is equal to n ' times the difference in themolecular weights
of the two chlorides. The actualweight of NaCl present (x ) is equal
0 .0172 - 0 .0172 -
to 58.50n', or, since n ' = ,74 .56 – 58 50 , 2 = 58.50• \74. 56 - 58.50 )
This may be expressed in the form (74 .56 – 58 .50 ) : 58 .50 =
0 .0172 : x , from which x = 0 .0626 . The weight of NaCl subtracted
from that of the mixture gives the weight of KCI.
The weights of the chlorides may also be calculated algebra
ically by solving the equations x + y = 0 . 15 anda 74.56
93 . 72x% ++ 20:40
58.50 ?
= 0 .0795 , where x is the weight of KCl and y is the weight of
NaCl in the mixture:
4 . It is sometimes desirable to weigh out such a quantity of
substance for analysis , that the number of cubic centimeters of
standard solution entering into the reaction shall represent di
rectly the percentage of the desired constituent. This may be
readily done , by considering the relation of the solution to a
normal solution and the atomic or molecular weight of the desired
component. For example, suppose it is desired to calculate such
a weight for K2CO3 in pearl ash , when a half -normal acid solution
298
HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS

is used . Since half -normal acid and alkali solutions are equiva
lent, and since by definition the half -normal K2CO3 solution
contains 34 .55 grams per liter, each cubic centimeter of the acid
solution must be equivalent to 0 .03455 gram K2CO3. Hence,
100 cc. would neutralize 3 .455 grams pure K2CO3and this becomes
the desired weight of the pearl ash . Similarly the required weight
of limonite where the iron (Fe) is to be determined by means of
a deci-normal K ,Cr,07 solution is 0 .5602 gram .
5. One of the most frequently recurring cases in volumetric
analysis is that in which it is wished to express the value of a
specific solution in terms of some substance other than that
against which it has been standardized as for instance, the value
of a permanganate solution which has been standardized against
oxalic acid , in terms of iron . Although such problems appar
ently vary widely , there are common principles which can be
applied to them all. These are stated below , and the student
should assure himself that they are fully understood .
Suppose , for example , it is desired to find the iron value ( Fe ) of
a permanganate solution , of which 1 cc. is equivalent to 0 .006302
gram C2H204 . 2H20 .
From a comparison of the reactions it is seen that 10 molecules
of ferrous sulphate and 5 molecules of oxalic acid each react
with the same amount (2 molecules ) of the permanganate .
These two quantities being, then , equivalent to the same third
quantity, must be equivalent to each other; in other words, 10
molecules of ferrous sulphate and 5 molecules of oxalic acid
have the same reducing power. But, as stated above , the value
is desired in terms of metallic iron (Fe), not FeSO4, but as it is
plain that 10FeSO4 are equivalent to 10Fe, it is proper to make
the proportion
560.2 630.25
10 Fe : 5C2H204. 2H2O = x : 0 .006302
in which x = 0 . 005602 gram . IIere, again , as in example 2 , it is
necessary to include the water of crystallization in the molecular
weight of the oxalic acid , as it is weighed with it .
The same conclusion is arrived at, if we consider the relation of
the solution to the normal. As given , it is deci-normal and must,
therefore, be equivalent to a deci-normal solution of iron . From
the equations cited , it is seen that 10FeSO4, unite with 50 , there
fore each molecule is equivalent to 1 hydrogen atom in reducing
power. The normal solution must, then , contain 1 gram -mole
cule of ferrous sulphate, or 56 .02 grams Fe, and each cubic centi
meter of the deci-normal solution would contain 0 .005602 gram ,
the value obtained above .
Again , suppose the value of the same permanganate solution
were desired in terms of molybdenum (Mo), the reactions with
permanganate being
5M0.2019 + 17110 , 0) , = 60M0O3 + 34MnO , and
5C211.04. 211, 0 + Mn207 = 2MnO + 10CO, + 15H ,0 .
(Mn20 , is the anhydride of HMn04.)
299
HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
It is plain that in these equations as they stand , the molecular
quantities of oxidizing agent are not equal. They can be made
so by simply multiplying the second equation by 17 , and they then
become,
5M012019 + 17Mn20 , = 34MnO + 60M003, and
85C2H204. 2H , 0 + 17Mn20 , = 34MnO + 170 CO2 +
255 H2O .
It is now possible to reason in the same way as before, and to
conclude that 85 molecules of the oxalic acid have the same reduc
ing power as 5 molecules of the oxide M012019, or 60 atoms of
molybdenum . Accordingly,
5758.8 10714 .25
60Mo : 85C2H204.2H20 : : 2 : 0 .006302
in which x 0 . 003387 gram .
Since 5M012019 unite with 850 , a normal solution of the former
as a reducing agent, would contain 1 / 170 . of the 5 gram -molecules
or 33.87 grams Mo, and the deci-normal solution 3.387 grams per
liter. This agrees with the values already obtained .
6 . It is sometimes necessary to calculate the value of solutions
according to the principles just explained , when several succes
sive reactions are involved . Such problemsmay be solved by a
series of proportions, but it is usually possible, after stating these
to eliminate the common factors and solve but a single one.
For example , suppose it is desired to express the value of a
permanganate solution , of which 1 cc. = 0 .008 gram iron ( Fe), in
terms of calcium oxide (CaO ) . The reactions involved in the
volumetric determination of calcium are the following ; CaCl2 +
(NH4)2C204 = CaC204 + 2NH4Cl; CaC204 + H2SO4 + 2H20 =
CaSO4 + C2H ,04. 2H20 ; 5C2H204 . 21 , 0 + 2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4
= K2SO4 + MnSO4 + 10CO2 + 18H20 .
From the considerations stated under 5 , the following propor
tions may be made .
10Fe : 5C , H ,04 . 2H2O = 0 .008 : x
5C2H204. 2H20 : 5CaC204 = x : Y
5CaC204 : 5CaO = y : x
Canceling the common factors, there remains simply
560 .2 280.4
10Fe : 5 Ca0 = 0.008 : 2
Similarly , from the reactions, the equivalent of the iodine liber
ated may be calculated in terms of MnO2 as follows: Supposing
the weight of iodine to be 0 . 5 gram then
21 : 2KI = 0 .5 : x
2KI : 2C1 = x : y
2Cl : 2HCl = y : %
2HCl : MnO2 = 2 : W
Canceling the common factors, there remains
21 :MnO , = 0.5 : w
300
HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
To solve such problems as 5 and 6 , it is necessary to know the
reactions involved , and the way in which the various components
break up ; then to compare the reactions and to search for those
molecular quantities of the compounds in question , which are
equivalent in their action upon a common agent. Having found
these , as shown above, express the molecular ratio between them
253.7 86.99
in the form of a proportion ; as, for example, 2 I : MnO2 = 0.5 : w .
86 .99
Expressed in the form w = 0 , - 0 .5 , it is plain that this ratio is
in no way different in principle from the chemical factor men
tioned in paragraph 1 ; indeed , it is the factor for the conversion
of iodine to manganese dioxide.

RUBBER TUBING

Rubber tubing suitable for


chemical laboratory work
must be of special compo
sition to withstand the hard
usage and particular require
ments .
Serious difficulty and em
barrassment will result should
it give out unexpectedly in
the midst of an important
experiment.
The various grades oftubing
herein listed are especially
compounded to meet the
demands of the Chemical
Laboratory — a selection
based upon the recommen
dation of Professors in charge
of some of the largest high
schools and colleges through
out the United States.
Several years of successful
use of these tubings in the largest and most important laboratories of the
country has convinced us of their superiority for the work .
The same high standard of quality will be maintained , as we realize
the importance of supplying the trade with such goods as will prove
satisfactory and add to our long list of patrons.
The compounds of our various tubings are carefully made and contain
no foreign substance which might cause rubber to deteriorate .
The various materials are chosen with the object of supplying a product
of low specific gravity . The compound is not adulterated in order to
accomplish this , therefore we are able to give an unusual number of feet
of tubing per pound . All grades of tubing are of the lowest specific gravity
consistent with good quality of stock .
Rubber tubing may be had in five different grades which are especially
adapted to the various laboratory work . We also give a list showing
the approximate number of feet per pound of tubing from which the cost
per foot can be quickly computed for the various sizes and grades.

RUBBER STOPPERS

The compound used in our rubber Stoppers has


received the same consideration and careful selection
as our Rubber Tubing. The points considered were
to obtain a compound of exceptionalwearing quality ,
at the same time have a maximum flexibility which
would be retained as long as the life of the stopper,
the lasting qualities of the stock being of most
importance .
These stoppers are made in the sizes termed
“ The New Chemists ' Style . " The taper is such
as will make a most suitable and tight joint.
Three styles of stoppers are carried in stock in
all sizes mentioned with one-hole , two -hole and
without holes. In addition three -hole stoppers
can be furnished when ordered in quantities which
permit of special manufacture and can be had in two weeks from date
of order .
The holes are of different size, depending upon size of stopper, grad
uated from " in the No. 00 to a hole in the No. 13 stopper. This
is essential on account of the larger tubing required where large stoppers
are used , also on account of impracticability of a large hole in small stopper.
The approximate number of stoppers per pound is shown on the list.
from which the cost per dozen can be readily computed . You will note
that all prices on rubber material are per pound . This we find most
satisfactory , as it does not burden certain sizes with additional charge
to overcome a lower quotation on other sizes. You can readily realize
the impossibility of figuring the prices accurately and giving a just price
on all the various sizes due to slight fluctuations in weight.
