Page 1525 - The odorous constituents of apples have been found to consist essentially of the amyl esters of formic, acetic, and caproic acids, with a very small amount of the caprylic ester and a considerable proportion of acetaldehyde. In...
Page 1446 - A little water with a few drops of hydrofluoric acid is added and the insoluble rare-earth fluorides (crude) collected on a small filter held by a perforated platinum or rubber cone and washed with water acidified with the same acid. The precipitate is washed into a small platinum dish and evaporated to dryness with sulphuric acid, the paper being burned and added before expulsion of the acid. The sulphates are dissolved in dilute, hydrochloric, acid, the...
Page 1957 - As Lorentz has pointed out, the electrical mass of a system of charged particles, if close together, will depend not only on the number of these particles, but on the way their fields interact. For the dimensions of the positive and negative electrons considered, the packing must be very close in order to produce an appreciable alteration in the mass due to this cause. This may, for example, be the explanation of the fact that the helium atom has not quite four times the mass of the hydrogen atom.
Page 1431 - Ammonia adds a hydrogen readily but has little tendency to give one up. Hydrogen chloride, on the other hand, shows just the opposite tendencies. Water occupies an intermediate position and shows tendencies both to add and give up hydrogen, which are nearly balanced. Then, in terms of the Lewis theory, a free pair of electrons on one water molecule might be able to exert sufficient force on a hydrogen held by a pair of electrons on another water molecule to bind the two molecules together.
Page 1533 - If the entropy of each element in some crystalline form be taken as zero at the absolute zero, the entropy of any pure crystal at the absolute zero is zero, and the entropy of any other substance is greater than zero.

Page 1446 - Dissolve the sulfates in dil. hydrochloric acid, precipitate the rare-earth hydroxides by ammonia, filter, redissolve in hydrochloric acid, evaporate the solution to dryness, and treat the residue with 5 cc. of boiling hot 5% oxalic acid. Filter after 15 minutes, collect the oxalates on a small filter, wash with not more than 20 cc. of cold 5% oxalic acid, ignite and weigh as rareearth oxides, which are to be deducted from the weight of the cupferron precipitate.
Page 1692 - Denis, react strongly with the phenol reagent to produce the blue color. (4) Ferrous iron, and apparently any other easily oxidizable material, also reacts with the reagent. (5) There is considerable evidence that tyrosine and tryptophane are not the only protein constituents which produce blue colors with the phenol reagent. (6) The amount of color which is developed in a solution is not a linear function of the concentration of the reactive material, but the color values fall off sharply as concentration...
