The title page indicates that this paper was submitted to the Department of Chemistry as partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science. This method, stated in a few words, c onsists in the comparison of the color given by the unknown acid containing a definite amount of indicator with the color given by the same amount of indicator in an equal volume of some staindard buffer solution. the method here used is a relatively simple one consisting only in having a series of standard solutions of varying but known pH values, determined from their method of preparation or by electrometric comparison.
