McGraw Hill Financial, Inc. is an American publicly traded corporation headquartered in Rockefeller Center in New York City. Its primary areas of business are financial, publishing, and business services.
A method of chemical analysis based on the optical activity of the substance being determined; the measurement of the extent of the optical rotation of the substance is used to identify the substance or determine its quantity.
Industry:Chemistry
Device to measure heat evolved (from fusion or vaporization, for example); measured quantities of heat are added electrically to the sample, and the temperature rise is noted.
Industry:Chemistry
Plotted output (current versus electrode voltage) for polarographic analysis of an electrolyte.
Industry:Chemistry
In conductometric analyses of electrolyte solutions, an outside, calibrated current source as compared to (equivalent to) the current passing through the sample under analysis; for example, a Wheatstone-bridge balanced reading.
Industry:Chemistry
1. The sample being analyzed. 2. The specific component that is being measured in a chemical analysis.
Industry:Chemistry
An electroanalytical technique in which the current through an electrolysis cell is measured as a function of the applied potential; the apparatus consists of a potentiometer for adjusting the potential, a galvanometer for measuring current, and a cell which contains two electrodes, a reference electrode whose potential is constant and an indicator electrode which is commonly the dropping mercury electrode. Also known as polarography.
Industry:Chemistry
Analytical microbalance utilizing electromagnetic weighing; the sample weight is balanced by the torque produced by current in a coil in a magnetic field, with torque proportional to the current.
Industry:Chemistry
Precise resolution of a volatile liquid mixture into its components; the mixture is vaporized by heat or vacuum, and the vaporized components are recondensed into liquids at their respective boiling points.
