Modern Analytical Chemistry

Modern Analytical Chemistry is a one-semester introductory text that meets the needs of all instructors. With coverage in both traditional topics and modern-day topics, instructors will have the flexibilty to customize their course into what they feel is necessary for their students to comprehend the concepts of analytical chemistry.

Features:

• This textbook supplies instructors with balanced coverage of traditional topics, giving them the opportunity to present subjects they feel are most important. Some topics included are:
  1) Statistical Analysis of Data. This topic offers a thorough description of different types of statistical tests.
  2) Equilibrium Chemistry. The rigorous solutions to equilibrium problems are presented along with the shortcut method of ladder diagrams, helping students understand the chemistry behind an analytical problem.
  3) Titrimetry. To quickly evaluate the feasibilty of a titration, students are shown how to sketch titration curves with minimum calculations.
  4) Stoichiometry. The use of conservation principles is presented to find the proper stoichiometric relationships in chemical reactions when it is inconvenient or too time-consuming to balance a series of reactions.
• Instructors have the flexibility to pick and choose their favorite topics of discussion from additional coverage of subjects that cannot be found or receive little attention in other textbooks, including sampling, kinetic methods, and quality assurance.
• Representative Method Boxes found throughout the text encourage students to apply their knowledge in analyzing analytical procedures and problems.
• An annotated list of experiments published in the Journal of Chemical Education furnish students with a wealth of practical examples.
• Numerous examples are found in the chapters, giving students the guidance through various methods and accompanying topics.
