The Sicts procedendi is as follows: — |. 
Bs4 ¢c. pure turpentine spirits are dissolved to 100 cc. in methyl alcohol, the same 
$ Ss carried out with 5 cc. of the turpentine spirits under examination. Of each of these 
solutions, 5 cc. are transferred by means of a pipette into thick-walled bottles of about 
200 ce. capacity, then 50 cc. Saturated aqueous ‘mercuric acetate solution are added to 
each, the bottles heated for 4 hours in boiling water, then cooled down and the 
mercurous salt separated out. is filtered off; the latter is washed with wather, alcohol,

‘mercurous chloride is thrown down which is filtered off after several hours’ standing, 
th nen. washed, dried, and weighed. The calculation of the result is carried out in the 
‘fo ' owing manner: — a is the pure turpentine oil, & the oil under examination. 1 cc. of 
a yields a g. of HgeCla; 1 ce. of b, 2 g. FigeCl. When «=, the oil analysed is pure;

4 In cases of: exact analyses it is recommended to weigh the oil in small Aes pearls | 
to crush them in the boiling flask. When only small quantities are analysed the 
lank test is carried out and the Hg,Cl. possibly thrown down must be subtracted. 
Oo course, the determination of the mercurous salt formed may 2s carried out by any 
0 other method. | 
As to the applicability of the three methods, Tausz believes the acidimetric method 
to be very expedient whenever many determinations are to be carried out, also in cases 
When only small quantities of oil are available. The volumetric method is preferred in 
ases where the nature of the adulterant is to be ascertained; the gravimetric ee 
enabled the author to examine even a very small quantity of oil.
