Elementary Organic Analysis: The Determination of Carbon and Hydrogen (1900)

Elementary Organic Analysis: The Determination of Carbon and Hydrogen is a scientific book written by Francis Gano Benedict and published in 1900. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and techniques of organic analysis, focusing specifically on the determination of carbon and hydrogen in organic compounds. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific aspect of organic analysis. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject, outlining the history and development of organic analysis and the basic principles of the techniques used. The following chapters delve deeper into the methods used to determine carbon and hydrogen, including combustion analysis, the use of the Dumas method, and the analysis of volatile compounds.Throughout the book, Benedict provides detailed explanations of the techniques used, including step-by-step instructions and illustrations. He also discusses the limitations and potential sources of error in each method, and provides advice on how to minimize these errors.Overall, Elementary Organic Analysis: The Determination of Carbon and Hydrogen is a valuable resource for anyone studying or working in the field of organic chemistry. Its clear and concise explanations, along with its practical advice and detailed instructions, make it an essential reference for anyone involved in organic analysis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
