Tissue B.M. Basics of Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Equilibria

Wiley, 2013. — 429 p.This text will introduce you to analytical chemistry: the science of making quantitative measurements. Quantifying the individual components in a complex sample is an exercise in problem solving. An effective and efficient analyst will have expertise in
sampling, sample processing, and method validation;
the chemistry that can occur in a sample before and during analysis;
selecting an appropriate analytical method; and
proper record keeping, data analysis, and reporting of results.I organize the discussion of the core principles of analytical chemistry into three parts:
analytical concepts such as calibration and uncertainty, sample preparation, classical (wet-chemical) methods, and molecular Uv/Vis spectroscopy.
Chemical equilibria involving acids, bases, complexes, and insoluble precipitates.
Electroanalytical methods, atomic and mass spectrometry, and chromatographic separationsQuantitative analysis using reactions that go to ‘‘COMPLETION’’
