The advantages of the method are the speed with which a given analysis can be carried out, the large number of determinations which can be done within a short time, and the simplicity of the procedure as compared to other existing methods. The use of the photometer makes it possible to obtain accurate readings on solutions in which the depth of color is too slight to be estimated in a colorimeter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
