QUANTITATIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF A GREEN SMOKE COMPOSITION
Abstract
The quantitative analysis of a smoke composition of green dye (a mixture of 1,4-di-p-luidinoanthraquinone and auramine hydrochloride), powdered sugar containing approximately 3% starch, potassium chlorate, sodium bicarbonate, silocel, and collodial silicon dioxide binder is described. Components soluble in water made slightly alkaline are removed and analyzed. Silica is isolated as a insoluble component, ignited, and determined gravimetrically. The % of volatiles is found gravimetrically by means of vacuum drying. 1,4-di-p-toluidinoanthraquinone and auramine hydrochloride are determined spectrophotometrically. Starch is estimated from the % sucrose found. (Author)
