Tests.—The effect of a solution of an acid (p. 93) or an alkali (seeabove) upon litmus solution is an illustration of a chemical test. Inthis case a mere trace of a highly colored body dissolved in waterinteracts with a correspondingly minute trace of the acid or alkaliunder examination. Yet the product has such marked color that itspresence is immediately recognizable. Tests for various kinds ofmaterials are eagerly sought by chemists for use in identifying un-known substances. Any property which is so conspicuous as to beapparent when ve
