{wiki=Dumas_method_of_molecular_weight_determination}
The Dumas method is a classic technique used to determine the molecular weight of volatile substances, particularly organic compounds. It is based on the principle of measuring the vapor density of a substance. \#\#\# Key Steps and Principles of the Dumas Method: 1. **Sample Preparation**: A known quantity of the organic compound is placed in a flask or a similar apparatus equipped for vaporization. 2. **Heating**: The substance is heated to ensure it vaporizes completely.
