THE LATEST IN CHEMISTRY FROM VAN NOSTRAND (Formerly Scott's Standard Methods of Chemical Analysis) Throughout its various editions, this work has been a source of relia- ble analytical in- formation for gen- eral use in the chemical labora- tory. Volume I covers each ele- ment alphabeti- cally with the ex- ception of certain logical groupings in- cluding not only the physical proper- ties, detection, and estimation but also the chief titrimetric gravimetric and colorimetric photometric methods of determining whenever possible. Pre- sented at particular length are alumi- num, magnesium, titanium and phos- phorus as these elements are becoming increasingly more important.

THE LATEST IN CHEMISTRY FROM VAN NOSTRAND
(Formerly Scott's Standard Methods of Chemical Analysis)
Throughout its various editions, this work has been a source of reliable analytical information for general use in the chemical laboratory. Volume I covers each element alphabetically with the exception of certain logical groupings including not only the physical properties, detection, and estimation but also the chief titrimetric gravimetric and colorimetric photometric methods of determining whenever possible. Presented at particular length are aluminum, magnesium, titanium and phosphorus as these elements are becoming increasingly more important. No other work provides such explicit information in such compact, usable form. 1371 pages, single vol. prob. $25.00
