Summary
A direct iodometric method for the volumetric determination of Arsenic (ous) and Copper (ic) when present together has been described. Results obtained are comparable within experimental error. The method is quick and accurate and applicable for the assay of certain arsenical insecticides e. g. Paris Green and Scheele's Green.
