Abstract

As any student in freshman chemistry can tell you, many of the tests in qualitative analysis do not work as well as they should. Of course, for a particular student, this may be more his fault than the fault of the test, but in some cases the test itself is to blame. One of these cases is the confirmatory test for arsenic. There is a combination of difficulties which make it hard to detect arsenic by the present method used in qualitative analysis so it is the hope of the author to determine exactly what these difficulties are, find some way to meet them and thus formulate a better method for confirming the presence of arsenic. It is her hope that by an improved test for arsenic she may aid in some small way, the never ceasing attempt to find simpler and more accurate methods in all types of chemical analysis.
