Extract

1. A volumetric method for the determination of sodium which can be separated as a triple salt (uranium zinc sodium acetate) from mixed solutions is described. The reduction of the uranium with titanous chloride, upon which it depends is shown to be quantitative.

2. Calcium, magnesium, and relatively large proportions of potash do not interfere. The procedure for the removal of iron, aluminium and phosphates by gentle ignition is simple and obviates the risk of error by the introduction of sodium as an impurity in the chemical reagents necessary for precipitation methods.

3. 0.1 mg. of sodium can be determined accurately.
