Company Profile:
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 procedure for the determination of the color of an unknown solution by visual comparison to color standards (solutions or color-tinted disks).
Industry:Chemistry
A variation of paper chromatography in which an electric current is applied to the ends of the electrolyte-impregnated absorbent paper, thus moving chargeable molecules of the unknown sample toward the appropriate electrode.
Industry:Chemistry
Separation of particles according to density by employing a gradient of varying densities; at equilibrium each particle settles in the gradient at a point equal to its density.
Industry:Chemistry
Quantitative analysis of solutions of known volume but unknown strength by adding reagents of known concentration until a reaction end point (color change or precipitation) is reached; the most common technique is by titration. Also known as titrimetric analysis.
Industry:Chemistry
Chemically treated paper tape that is continuously unreeled, exposed to the sample, and viewed by a phototube to measure the color change that is empirically related to changes in the sample’s chemical composition.
Industry:Chemistry
In gravimetric analysis by coprecipitation of salts, a system with _ less than unity, when _ is the logarithmic distribution coefficient expressed by the ratio of the logarithms of the ratios of the initial and final solution concentrations of the two salts.
Industry:Chemistry
A laboratory flask primarily intended for the preparation of definite, fixed volumes of solutions, and therefore calibrated for a single volume only.
Industry:Chemistry
A method for analyzing fluid mixtures by measurement of the paramagnetic (versus diamagnetic) susceptibilities of materials when exposed to a magnetic field.
Industry:Chemistry
A method for precise determination in thermograms of slight temperature changes by taking the first derivative of the differential thermal analysis curve (thermogram) which plots time versus differential temperature as measured by a differential thermocouple. Also known as DDTA.
Industry:Chemistry
A graduated glass tubing used to measure quantities of a solution; the tube is open at the top and bottom, and a slight vacuum (suction) at the top pulls liquid into the calibrated section; breaking the vacuum allows liquid to leave the tube.
