Description
The gold standard in Analytical Chemistry, the authors provide a sound physical understanding of the principles of analytical chemistry and show how these principles are applied in chemistry and related disciplines. The authors present the subject in a rigorous, readable, and interesting manner, lucid enough for non-chemistry majors, but containing the depth required by advanced undergraduates. For the first time, this textbook comes with SaplingPlus, the best online resource to teach students the problem-solving skills they need to succeed in analytical chemistry. SaplingPlus combines Saplings acclaimed automaticallygraded online homework with an extensive suite of engaging multimedia learning resources. Dan Harris was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1948. He earned degrees in Chemistry from MIT in 1968 and Caltech 1973 and was a postdoc at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. After teaching at the University of California at Davis from 1975-1980 and at Franklin and Marshall College from 1980-1983, he moved to the Naval Air Systems Command at China Lake, California, where he is now a Senior Scientist and Esteemed Fellow. While teaching analytical chemistry at Davis, he wrote his lectures in bound form for his students. This volume caught the attention of publishers’ representatives wandering through the college bookstore. The first edition of Quantitative Chemical Analysis was published in 1982. The first edition of Exploring Chemical Analysis came out in 1996. Both have undergone regular revision. Dan is also co-author of Symmetry and Spectroscopy published in 1978 by Oxford University Press and now available from Dover Press. His book Materials for Infrared Windows and Domes was published by SPIE press in 1999. Dan and his wife Sally were married in 1970. They have two children and four grandchildren. Sally’s work on every edition of the books is essential to their quality and accuracy. 0 The Analytical Process 1 1 Chemical Measurements 11 2 Tools of the Trade 27 3 Experimental Error 51 4 Statistics 67 5 Quality Assurance and Calibration Methods 99 6 Chemical Equilibrium 127 7 Let the Titrations Begin 153 8 Activity and the Systematic Treatment of Equilibrium 169 9 Monoprotic Acid-Base Equilibria 193 10 Polyprotic Acid-Base Equilibria 217 11 Acid-Base Titrations 241 12 EDTA Titrations 273 13 Advanced Topics in Equilibrium 295 14 Fundamentals of Electrochemistry 313 15 Electrodes and Potentiometry 343 16 Redox Titrations 381 17 Electroanalytical Techniques 403 18 Fundamentals of Spectrophotometry 443 19 Applications of Spectrophotometry 471 20 Spectrophotometers 511 21 Atomic Spectroscopy 549 22 Mass Spectrometry 583 23 Introduction to Analytical Separations 637 24 Gas Chromatography 667 25 High-Performance Liquid Chromatography 703 26 Chromatographic Methods and Capillary Electrophoresis 751 27 Gravimetric and Combustion Analysis 791 28 Sample Preparation 811 Notes and References NR1 Glossary GL1 Appendixes AP1 Solutions to Exercises S1 Answers to Problems AN1 Index I1
