Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Equilibria Textbook - 1st Edition by Brian M. Tissue | Fundamental Principles & Applications for Students & Researchers | Perfect for Lab Studies & Academic Reference

The Basics of Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Equilibria "emphasizes the fundamental chemical and physical concepts that underlie the analytical methods." As in many books, including books for Dummies, there are certain assumptions made involving the readership. In this book the assumption is that you have a basic knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, and reaction types.Each chapter is prefaced by several "Learning Outcomes" the reader should accomplish with the materials presented. At the end, there are practice exercises, occasionally including calculational to work through. Interspersed throughout the text are tables, figures, and small sidebars that include examples to work through (You-Try-It).One useful, recommended accompanying text would be theIUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology - the Gold Book. This book is well-written and what I especially like is the explanations of terminology within sentences. They are not weighty, but rather will prompt the student to recall previously learned materials. Links to additional resources are added for reference.CONTENTS:I QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS USING REACTIONS THAT GO TO "COMPLETION"1 MAKING MEASUREMENTS1.1 Introduction1.2 GLP and a Few Other Important Acronyms1.3 Precision and Random Error1.4 Discarding a Suspected Outlier1.5 Calibration1.6 Maintaining Accurate ResultsPractice Exercises2 SAMPLE PREPARATION, EXTRACTIONS, AND CHROMATOGRAPHY2.1 Sampling and Control Samples2.2 Sample Preparation2.3 Solvents and Solutions2.4 Introduction to Solubility2.5 Extraction2.6 Stationary Phases2.7 Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE)2.8 Introduction to Chromatography2.9 ImmunoassaysPractice Exercises3 CLASSICAL METHODS3.1 Introduction3.2 Review of Chemical Reactions3.3 Reactions in Aqueous Solution3.4 Gravimetry3.5 Titration3.6 Titration Curves3.7 CoulometryPractice Exercises4 MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY4.1 Introduction4.2 Properties of EM Radiation4.3 Electromagnetic Spectrum4.4 Spectroscopic Transitions4.5 UV/Vis Absorption Spectroscopy4.6 UV/Vis Instrumentation4.7 Beer-Lambert Law4.8 Molecular FluorescencePractice ExercisesII REACTIONS THAT DO NOT GO TO "COMPLETION."
