A test for the presence of saccharides, utilizing the reduction of bismuth subnitrate to metallic bismuth, a precipitate.
Industry:Chemistry
The intensity of a beam of monochromatic radiation in an absorbing medium decreases exponentially with penetration distance. Also known as Beer-Lambert-Bouguer law; Lambert-Beer law.
Industry:Chemistry
The law that the change in intensity of light transmitted through an absorbing substance is related exponentially to the thickness of the absorbing medium and a constant which depends on the sample and the wavelength of the light. Also known as Lambert’s law.
Industry:Chemistry
An equational factor to correct for the depolarization effect of the horizontal components of scattered light during the determination of molecular weight by optical methods.
Industry:Chemistry
A procedure used to analyze organic compounds for sulfur, halogens, and phosphorus that involves heating the sample with fuming nitric acid in a sealed tube.
Industry:Chemistry
Monochromatic transparency effect when finely powdered substances, such as glass or quartz, are immersed in a liquid having the same refractive index.
Industry:Chemistry
A laboratory apparatus used to determine flash point and fire point of petroleum products.
Industry:Chemistry
The characteristic wavelength dependence of the optical rotatory dispersion curve or the circular dichroism curve or both in the vicinity of an absorption band.
Industry:Chemistry
Measurement of critical temperature, involving sealing the sample in a tube and heating it; the temperature at which the meniscus disappears is the critical temperature.
Industry:Chemistry
