Sentences with ALKALIMETER (5)
The alkalimeter is merely a graduated tube--a burette--with a stopcock at the lower extremity, from which the standard acid is dropped into water in which a known weight of the substance is dissolved.
The alkaline solution is now treated with the standard test-acid, which is poured carefully from an alkalimeter or Mohr’s burette, until the solution, after turning a purple red, suddenly assumes a pink colour.
Neutralisation being thus effected, the operator allows the sides of the alkalimeter or burette to drain, and then either ‘reads off’ the number of divisions which have been consumed, or (if using the test-acid by weight) determines the quantity by again weighing the alkalimeter.
Every 1-10th part of an alkalimeter-division (or every drop), and every grain weight (when a Schüster’s alkalimeter is employed) then respectively represents the 1/10 of 1%; and the result sought is obtained without the necessity of any calculation.
Thus:——A crude sample of potash having taken 90 alkalimeter-divisions of test-acid to neutralise it, would contain—— 100 : 47 :: 90 : 42·30% or nearly 42-1/3 per cent.
