Composition S. balsam consists of up to ca. 50% tri-terpene acids, and more than 45% of cinnamyl cinna-mate (see cinnamic acid) and 3-phenylpropyl cinna-mate (a) (CigHigOj, Mr 266.34), together with small amounts of more volatile compounds such as cinna-myl alcohol and hydrocinnamyl alcohol. The typical odor notes of S. are determined mainly by the trace content of styrene (b) (CgH, Mr 104.15). 

The physico-chemical characterisation of the species in the case of, for example, the determination of the form in which it is present, represents a substantially more demanding field of trace analysis than total trace contents. According to Florence speciation analysis of an element in a water sample may be defined as the determination of the concentrations of the different physico-chemical forms of the element which together make up its total concentration in the sample . 

Applications Doppler-free high-resolution laser spectroscopy on low-pressure atom reservoirs and gas discharges allows the measurement of isotopic trace content and isotope ratios such as the determination of LI/ Li isotope ratio, and thus offers the advantage of isotope dilution techniques for calibration.

Particularly for determining organic trace contents, analytical methods are used that combine systems with different measurement principles and therefore different selectivity (coupled or hy-... 

Radioanalytical indicator methods (including the radioreagent method, see Chap. 8.5) experienced a revival in the 1960s and early 1970s. Modern direct instrumental methods [19] underemphasized the importance of radioanalytical methods, which are necessary to establish the accuracy of spectroscopic methods, to avoid systematic enors. and to assess trace content in SRMs. An important advantage is the ability to reveal accidental losses, even at the ultra-trace level.

Figure 8.27 shows the poisoning ( p)-temperature (t) plot for the AllO catalyst. The poisoning effect of a trace content of water vapor on the AllO catalyst is shown in Table 8.29. 

To avoid the undesirable deoximation, the reaction (120°C, 1 h) with dicesium salt of progesterone dioxime, prepared from dilithium derivative and cesium fluoride (CsF) has been carried out [217]. In this case, only dipyrrole derivative of progesterone (8% yield) is formed, whereas deoximation product is not detected. This can be explained by lower (trace) content of water necessary for deoximation in this system. 

It is known that air contains 20.9% O2 and 79.1% N2 by volume argon whose content is 0.93% and the other rare gases present in trace quantities are included with nitrogen. 

The lead alkyls and scavengers contained in fuels cause rapid poisoning ol exhaust gas catalytic converters. They are tolerated only in trace quantities in fuels for vehicles having that equipment. The officially allowed content is 0.013 g Pb/1, but the contents observed in actual practice are less than 0.005 g Pb/1. 

It is noteworthy, however, that traces of sulfur can have beneficial effects on the anti-wear resistance of fuel injection pumps. It is thus undesirable to reduce the sulfur content to extremely low values unless additives having lubricating qualities are added. Independently from total sulfur content, the presence of mercaptans that are particularly aggressive towards certain metal or synthetic parts is strictly controlled. The mercaptan content is thereby limited to 0.002% (20 ppm) maximum. The analysis is performed chemically in accordance to the NF M 07-022 or ASTM D 3227 procedures. 

If there are hydrocarbons present in the formation that is being drilled, they will show in the cuttings as oil stains, and in the mud as traces of oil or gas. The gas in the mud is continuously monitored by means of a gas detector. This is often a relatively simple device detecting the total combustible gas content. The detector can be supplemented by a gas chromatograph, which analyses the composition of the gas. 

The steam-distillation is continued for 5 minutes after steam can first be seen entering the condenser the ideal rate of distillation is about 4 -5 ml. of distillate per minute, but this is not critical and may be varied within reasonable limits. The receiver J is then lowered from the lip K of the condenser and the steam-distillation continued for a further two minutes, thus ensuring that no traces of liquid containing ammonia are left on the inside of the condenser. At the end of this time any liquid on the lip K is rinsed with distilled water into J, which is then ready for titration. It is important that the receiver and its contents are kept cold during the distillation and it is advisable to interpose a piece of asbestos board or other screen so that it is not exposed to the heat from the burner under the steam generator. 

The impurity is potassium chloride. The approximate acid content is determined by heating a weighed sample of the acid in a crucible gently at first and finally at a red heat until no trace of black residue remains, and weighing the white residual potassium chloride. 

What makes the latter items particularly important is the fact that the charge and electrolyte content of an unknown polymer may not be known hence it is important to design an osmotic pressure experiment correctly for such a system. It is often easier to add swamping amounts of electrolyte than to totally eliminate all traces of electrolyte. Under the former conditions a true molecular weight is obtained. Trouble arises only when the experimenter is indifferent toward indifferent electrolyte this sort of carelessness can be the source of much confusion.
