Femtosecond-laser direct-writing is frequently used to create three-dimensional (3D) patterns in polymers and glasses. However, patterning metals in 3D remains a challenge. We describe a method for fabricating silver nanostructures embedded inside a polymer matrix using a femtosecond laser centered at 800 nm.

Source: Laboratory of Dr. Yee Nee Tan — Agency for Science, Technology, and Research Titration is a common technique used to quantitatively determine the unknown concentration of an identified analyte.1-4 It is also called volumetric analysis, as the measurement of volumes is critical in titration. There are many types of titrations based on the types of reactions they exploit. The most common types are acid-base titrations and redox titrations.5-11 In a typical titration process, a standard...

Source: Vy M. Dong and Diane Le, Department of Chemistry, University of California, Irvine, CA This experiment will demonstrate a simple technique to titrate and obtain an accurate concentration of the organolithium reagent, n-butyllithium (n-BuLi). Organolithium reagents are extremely air- and moisture-sensitive and proper care must be taken to maintain the quality of the reagent so that it may be used successfully in a reaction. The n-BuLi titration experiments should be performed regularly...

Chloride is measured before the indicator reaction because silver ions form insoluble silver chloride while chloride remains available. After the halide has been precipitated, a slight excess of silver ions can react with chromate to produce reddish-brown silver chromate. This sequence makes the color change correspond to completion of chloride precipitation rather than to the beginning of the reaction.
Potassium chromate acts as an endpoint indicator rather than the primary reagent for measuring chloride. While chloride is still present, silver ions are consumed in forming silver chloride. Once that precipitation is complete, excess silver ions produce reddish-brown silver chromate, providing a visible signal that the titration has reached its endpoint.
The analysis relies on a silver nitrate solution with known concentration and the amount required to reach the endpoint. Because silver ions react with chloride to form silver chloride, the consumed reagent provides a quantitative basis for determining the chloride present in the sample. This connects the visible endpoint with a numerical concentration for comparison or process decisions.
A Mohr determination requires a chemical sample, a silver nitrate solution of known concentration, and potassium chromate as the endpoint indicator. The sample is treated with the indicator and titrated with silver nitrate while the reaction proceeds. The analyst identifies the reddish-brown silver chromate appearance after chloride precipitation and uses the reagent consumption for measurement.
Silver nitrate titration can be applied to water, industrial solutions, and other chemical samples containing measurable halides, particularly chloride. Its value comes from producing a direct quantitative result rather than only indicating whether chloride is present. That result allows laboratories to compare sample composition across water-quality testing, industrial monitoring, and chemical analysis.
Engineering applications include water-quality assessment, process control, corrosion studies, and verification of treatment performance. A measured chloride concentration can help characterize water or an industrial stream, evaluate whether treatment is achieving its intended result, and support investigation of conditions associated with corrosion. The same analytical approach therefore links laboratory measurement with operational and materials-related decisions.
