Abstract

Collaborative work on maple syrup has shown that, with refractometric control, samples can be prepared to a content of 65% solids with much greater precision than is attainable when boiling temperature alone is depended upon. As the dry basic lead acetates used in different laboratories vary greatly in solubility and alkalinity, much better concordance in Canadian lead values can be attained by use of a reagent prepared from normal lead acetate and litharge "activated" at 650–670 °C. The electrical conductivity of solutions containing 25% of solids is less variable in genuine goods than any of the chemical values. The soluble ash is less variable than the insoluble.
