Acetometrically

/ˌæsɪtəˈmetrɪkli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner relating to the measurement or analysis of acetic acid content or acetone levels in a substance.

Etymology

From acetometry (the measurement of acetic acid) + -ically (making it an adverb), a 19th-century analytical chemistry term.

Kelly Says

This is what happens when scientists need to describe *how* something is measured—acetometrically means 'in the way that acetometry is done,' which itself means measuring how much acetic acid or acetone something contains.
