Excerpt from A Course in Quantitative Chemical Analysis Gravimetric and Volumetric

In the following pages methods for complete analyses are outlined, and substances have been selected for analysis which, it is believed, will illustrate the more common methods of separating and determining the parts of a compound or mixtures of compounds. In some determinations, two or more methods are outlined. In other cases, even though only one process is suggested, it should be borne in mind that there is often a choice of several methods, and the same result can often be attained in many different ways.

The larger works should be freely consulted by the student that he may become acquainted with the variety of processes that are more or less in common use. The work is graduated, and both in the gravimetric and volumetric divisions proceeds from simpler substances and operations to the more complex. The arrangement is such that any part may be omitted to suit the time and convenience of the student.

The ionic theory is now quite generally employed to explain chemical reactions. The theory is usually studied in the courses in general chemistry, and it has not been deemed necessary to introduce the subject here.
