Designed for a sophomore/junior course in analytical chemistry or quantitative analysis, this text focuses on the quantitative aspects of the discipline using a unified approach. Emphasis is placed on developing visual tools for understanding complicated solution equilibria. To these ends, extensive use is made of graphical methods, such as the easily sketched stick diagrams, which can be used to guide analytical calculations and takes the guesswork out of numerical approximations. Optional spreadsheet exercises are closely integrated with the text and can therefore serve to introduce the student to the use of computers for chemical calculations.
The gold standard in analytical chemistry, Dan Harris’ Quantitative Chemical Analysis provides a sound physical understanding of the principles of analytical chemistry and their applications in the disciplines
Principles of Analytical Chemistry gives readers a taste of what the field is all about. Using keywords of modern analytical chemistry, it constructs an overview of the discipline, accessible to readers pursuing different scientific and technical studies. In addition to the extremely easy-to-understand presentation, practical exercises, questions, and lessons expound a large number of examples.
This title presents concepts and procedures in a manner that reflects the practice and applications of these methods in today's analytical laboratories. The fundamental principles of laboratory techniques for chemical analysis are introduced, along with issues to consider in the appropriate selection and use of these methods.
This book covers both fundamental and practical aspects of chemical analysis: Data Process and Analysis; Chemical Equilibria and Volumetric titrations; Gravimetry; Spectrophotometry; Sample Preparation and Separation Methods in Quantitative Analysis. It was written with the rich tradition of teaching at Peking University College of Chemistry, and edited by an American professor who was personally sensitive to the needs of students learning science from traditional chemistry textbooks written in English. Many examples and illustrative problems in this text have been taken from previous textbooks by the Peking University Team Teaching Program. The book can be used as a starter in analytical chemistry which is fundamental and the base upon which chemistry is built. Traditional chapters of initial learning in analytical chemistry are included, such as volumetric, gravimetric and separation methods; the book also includes key chapters on problem solving relating to recent progress in analytical chemistry.
For instructors who wish to focus on practical, industrial, or research chemistry. Includes case studies, applications boxes, and spreadsheet applications.
Excerpt from A Text-Book of Quantitative Chemical Analysis This book is intended primarily for University and College students, and in planning it we have not overlooked the fact that those who study Chemistry as a subsidiary subject usually devote so short a time to it that it is impossible for them to cover any comprehensive course, and that, even when Chemistry is one of the main subjects of study, the student, as a rule, has a strictly limited time for laboratory work. We have endeavoured, therefore, to arrange the book in such a manner that some knowledge of the principles of Quantitative Analysis may be acquired by a practical study of the subjects included in Parts I., II., and III., and that the further requirements of those who are making a special study of Chemistry should be met by the later portions of the book. Volumetric Analysis is dealt with in Part II. Before Gravi metric Analysis, partly because the manipulation is easier, and partly because the exercises in Volumetric Analysis present a greater variety than those in simple Gravimetric Analysis. The educative value of volumetric methods is probably greater than that of any other branch of analysis, and we are of opinion that a student should receive a thorough training in Volumetric Analysis' even if the time remaining at his disposal permits of little or no gravimetric work.
