Abstract

Committee on Analytical Reagents, AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY THE specifications given below comprise the fourteenth group to be published by the committee since 1925, and the second to supplement and amend those appearing in the twelve earlier publications (1-12), which were contained in the book, "A.C.S. Analytical Reagents", published in 1941.The specifications are intended to serve for reagents to be used in careful analytical work. The limits and tests are based on published work, on the experience of members of the committee in ithe examination of reagent chemicals on the market, and on studies of the tests made by members of the committee as the various items were considered. Suggestions for the improvement of the specifications will be welcomed by the committee.
