Excerpt from A Course of Instruction in the General Principles of Chemistry Prob. 2. Determine the exact combining weights of silver, potassium, and chlorine from the following data: In a series of eight experiments g. Of pure potassium chlorate were ignited or treated with hydro chloric acid, yielding g. Of potassium chloride. In another series of five experiments g. Of pure potassium chloride were dissolved in water and precipitated with silver nitrate, whereby 47 013 g. Of silver chloride were obtained. In a third series of ten experiments 82.6w g. Of pure silver were dissolved in nitric acid and precipitated with hydro chloric acid, yielding g. Of silver chloride. The combining weights adopted by the International Committee on Atomic Weights for the more important elements are presented in the following table. Those multiples being given which have been shown to be the atomic weights, as described in Art. 17. The table is therefore also one of atomic weights.
