Conclusion
The lanthanum nitrate test for the acetate ion has been examined for use in the routine analysis of mixtures of inorganic substances including the acetate, oxalate and tartrate radicles. A distillation method for the preparation of the test solution and a modification of this procedure in the presence of sulphites and thiosulphates are described. The results obtained are quite satisfactory and the test is recommended for general use.
