 Properties and typical application
Zinc (Zn) is a bluish pale gray, solid metal. Zinc is an inherent part of the environment and being an essential trace element, it can be found in virtually all food and potable water in the form of salts and organic complexes.

Zinc is typically found together with lead and other metals, like copper, gold and silver. The most commonly found zinc mineral is zinc blende (sphalerite, ZnS).

Zinc is typically used for galvanising iron, in the production of various alloys (e.g. brass), in the die casting industry, the production of batteries and in the field of construction (roofing and gutter).

Zinc is further used in colourants, the rubber industry, the automobile industry and for the production of plastics, coins and cosmetics. In agriculture, zinc compounds are used as a nutritive addition to promote growth of plants.

 Toxicology
According to the guidlines of the World Health Organisation, zinc is not of health concern at concentrations normally observed in drinking water.

Zinc deficiency may be present in the form of hair loss, dry and rough skin, brittle finger nails and loss of appetite, amongst others.

Zinc poisoning rarely occurs and is indicated by nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever and lethargy.

 Method
Measurement of concentrations of zinc is based on a colourimetric method.

Two specific reagents are used to provide an alkaline solution. Adding pyridylazoresorcinol (PAR) to the measurement process is initiating a colour reaction. The red resulting complex can be measured by the use of a photometer.

 Johann G. Albrechtsberger
Johann Georg Albrechtsberger was born in Klosterneuburg on February 3rd, 1736. He spent his youth at Stift Melk as choirboy. In 1753 he moved to Vienna for studying philosophy. This was where he got to know Michael Haydn. The years after 1768 he worked as organist and organ builder, until he was appointed Organist at Court by Emperor Joseph II in 1772. About twenty years later he was promoted bandmaster at the Viennese St.Stephen´s Cathedral. He became generally known as tutor for counterpoint and was a teacher to Ludwig van Beethoven in 1794. Both of them were rather unsatisfied with the times spent together, what caused Albrechteberger to state: "He will never do something decent with his life". Johann Georg Albrechtsberger had 15 children with his wife Rosalia. He died in 1808 in Vienna.

Works by Johann Georg Albrechtsberger:
Johann Georg Albrechtsberger gained fame with his oratorio "Die Schöpfung" (The Creation), which was edited 1796 by his friend Josef Haydn. He wrote 279 compositions of church music, 278 pieces for keyboard instruments besides numerous other compositions. Most popular are his textbooks „Instructions for composition“ and „Brief Bethod for learning Basso Continuo“
