单词 | marsh test |
释义 | Marsh testn. Chemistry. A sensitive test for the presence of arsenic, in which nascent hydrogen generated by the addition of hydrochloric acid and zinc is used to reduce any arsenic in a sample to the gas arsine, which is then converted by heat to a brown deposit of metallic arsenic (distinguishable from the similar stain given by antimony by its solubility in sodium hypochlorite solution).
