| Title | Paper, 'Researches on zirconium and its atomic weight' by G H Bailey |
| Creator | Bailey; G H (1852-1924); British chemist |
| Date | 1889 |
| Description | Bailey writes: 'The investigation described in the following paper was undertaken primarily with a view to the redetermination of the atomic weight of zirconium. In previous determinations the sulphate had been used by Berzelius (‘Poggendorff, Annalen,’ vol. 4, p. 126) and Mats Weibull (“Om Zirkonium och dess foreningar”), the chloride and oxychloride by Hermann (‘ Journ. Prakt. Chem.,’ vol. 31, p. 77), and the double fluoride of potassium and zirconium by Marignac (‘Annales de Chimie,’ vol. 60, 1860, p. 270). The results of these determinations are summed up in the following table, the relation O : H = 15 96 : 1 being used in the calculations.'
