"An Examination of Some Methods Employed in Determining the Atomic Weight of Cadmium" by John E. Bucher is a scientific thesis published in the late 19th century, specifically in 1894. This scholarly work presents a detailed examination of various methods used to ascertain the atomic weight of cadmium, demonstrating the discrepancies in results obtained by different chemists over time. The book serves not only as a report on experimental findings but also as a historical account of the scientific community's efforts to establish more accurate chemical constants. In this extensive thesis, Bucher explores multiple techniques for determining cadmium's atomic weight, such as the oxalate, sulphide, chloride, bromide, and oxide methods. He meticulously outlines the procedures for each method, the materials used, and the resulting atomic weight calculations. Additionally, Bucher discusses potential sources of error in each method, ultimately suggesting that significant variability arises from impure reactants and incomplete reactions. He presents a tentative average atomic weight of cadmium at approximately 112.38, while emphasizing that these results are not definitive, highlighting ongoing challenges in chemical analysis during that period.
