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 in which a sample and a reference are individually heated (by separately controlled resistance heaters, at a predetermined rate), and enthalpic (heat-generating or -absorbing) processes are detected as differences in electrical energy supplied to either the sample or the reference material to maintain this heating rate. This difference in electrical energy, in milliwatts per second, of the heat flow into or out of the sample is due to the occurrence of a physical or chemical process.
Industry:Chemistry
A measure of free hydroxyl groups in fats or oils determined by the amount of potassium hydroxide used to neutralize the acetic acid formed by saponification of acetylated fat or oil.
Industry:Chemistry
Measure of millimoles of peroxide (or milliequivalents of oxygen) taken up by 1000 grams of fat or oil; used to measure rancidity. Also known as peroxide value.
Industry:Chemistry
Thermometric titration in which titrant is added simultaneously to the reaction mixture and to a blank in identically equipped cells.
Industry:Chemistry
A substance that reveals, through characteristic color changes, the degree of acidity or basicity of solutions.
Industry:Chemistry
In chromatography, the ratio of the volume of the mobile phase to that of the stationary phase in a chromatographic column.
Industry:Chemistry
In polarography with a dropping-mercury electrode, the flow that is controled by the rate of diffusion of the active solution species across the concentration gradient produced by the removal of ions or molecule at the electrode surface.
Industry:Chemistry
A titration in which an acid of known concentration is added to a solution of base of unknown concentration, or the converse.
Industry:Chemistry
Solvent technique used to determine the amount and number of components in a solid substance; the weight of sample added to the solvent is plotted against the weight of sample dissolved, with breakpoints in the curve occurring with each progressive saturation of the solvent with respect to each of the components; can be combined with extraction and recrystallization procedures.
Industry:Chemistry
Analysis of difficult-to-separate materials in solution by diffusion effects, using, for example, dialysis, electrodialysis, interferometry, amperometric titration, polarography, or voltammetry.
