Abstract

It has been known for a long time that when calcium is precipitated as the oxalate in the presence of magnesium some magnesium is likely to be found in the precipitate. Therefore, it is customary to perform a double precipitation whenever the content of magnesium amounts to more than a few milligrams. With a view toward eliminating the time-consuming second precipitation whenever possible, it is the purpose of the present work to determine to what extent reliable results may be obtained for calcium using merely a single precipitation.
