Abstract:

Today the analytical chemist has an infinitely more complex assignment than did his counterpart in the early years of this century who often had merely to make a choice between determining a particular element gravimetrically or volumetrically. In a few cases there was also a colorimetric option and the truly sophisticated chemist might even venture into an electrolytic deposition of copper or silver. Scientists of that era who submitted samples for analysis were keenly aware of the limitations of choice and the lengthy time required for analysis, particularly where multiple or complex determinations were required.
