Homework Statement


I have to list out some ways on how to determine the manganese content of a steel sample.

The Attempt at a Solution


I can only think of one right now, which is calorimetry...but I was wondering are there other simpler possible ways of determining it?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, SIM, RBS come to mind. Then there must be chemical methods.
