The apparatus used isshown in Fig. 10. Only the middle portion of the distillateis collected. Oftentimes the distillate from a good spring-water may be used. A^csslers Reagent.—Dissolve grams KI in 250 water and add a cold solution of HgCU which hasbeen saturated by boiling an excess of the salt and allowingit to crystallize out. Add the HgCL cautiously until a slightpermanent red precipitate (Hgia) appears. Dissolve this. Fig. 10.—Still for Ammonia-free Water. slight precipitate by adding gram powdered KI. Thenadd grams of KOH dissolved in 250 of water. Makeup to the liter and allow it to stand overnight to settle. Thissolution should give the required color with ammonia withinfive minutes, and should not precipitate within two hours. Alkaline Permanganate.—Dissolve 233 grams of the beststick potash in 350 of distilled water. Filter this strong 206 APPENDIX B. solution, if necessary, through a layer of glass wool on a por-celain lilter-plate. Dilute with 700 to 750 of distilledwater to a sp. gr. of , add 8 grams of potassium per-manganate crystals, and boil down to one liter to free thesolution from nitrogen. Each new lot of reagent must betested before being used, but when the chemicals used are allgood there should be no correction needed for ammonia inthe solution.
