Analytical Chemistry 1. [Dunnington, X.] Required for E. M.

A course in Chemical Manipulation is first given. The class then
takes up in order Blowpipe Analysis, the Fire Assaying of Ores of
Lead and Gold and Silver, and a systematic study of Inorganic Qualitative
Analysis. This is followed by practice in the analysis of salts,
alloys, and ores; the determination of minerals; the examination
of waters, coals, limestones, clays, and so on; and a few of the
simpler quantitative determinations. Weekly written exercises are
required. Three lectures are given each week, and after every lecture
the student spends about four hours in practical work in the laboratory.
