Gravimetric Determination of Mercury(II) and Vanadium(IV) with Benzoylacetanilide

Abstract
Gravimetric methods for the determinations of mercury(II) and vanadium(IV) with benzoylacetanilide have been described. These metals have been separated from commonly associated ions and a procedure for the determination of vanadium content of steel has been developed. By these methods, 14 to 50 mg. of mercury and 5 to 20 mg. of vanadium have been estimated with relative standard deviations of 0.18% and 0.10%, respectively.
