Study Notes
- The text discusses the preparation of Standards and Normals in the context of a scientific process.
- The speaker, Dr. Sewall Wright, compares the use of Normal and Marrow Standards, said he would have preferred having one Normal with one Marrow instead of the current combinations.
- The Normal Standards are used to measure the concentration of a substance in the Marrow Standards.
- The Marrow Standards have the same weight as the sample and the same concentration as the substance in the solution or the filter.
- The Marrow Standard is kept in a container, and the solution is filtered through it to obtain a known quantity of the substance.
- The filter is then washed, and the substance is extracted and weighed to get the known amount of the substance.
- The speaker expresses the importance of understanding the principles of preparation, stating that knowing one milliliter of Marrow Standard is equivalent to having a known amount of a substance that interacts with a specified molar sample or a molar solvent or a single molar Marrow Solvent.
- The speaker also mentions that a Marrow Standard can be used to calibrate an instrument and that it's typically used in the industrial sector for making clothing in their mills.
- The text uses the example of music to illustrate the concepts, but the primary focus is on the scientific process of preparing Standards and Normals.
