Analytical Chemistry and Quantitative Analysis by David S. Hage and James R. Carr presents concepts and procedures in a manner that reflects the practice and applications of these methods in today’s analytical laboratories. These methods are illustrated by using current examples from fields that include forensics, environmental analysis, medicine, biotechnology, food science, pharmaceutical science, materials analysis, and basic research.
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—including the proper use and maintenance of balances, laboratory glassware, and notebooks, as well as mathematical tools for the evaluation and comparison of experimental results.
Basic topics in chemical equilibria are reviewed and used to help demonstrate the principles and proper use of classical methods of analysis like gravimetry and titrations. Common instrumental techniques are also introduced, such as spectroscopy, chromatography and electrochemical methods. Sideboxes discuss other methods, including mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, throughout the text.
Special sections are included as sideboxes to indicate important developments in the history of chemical analysis and/or common applications of analytical chemistry to real-world problems. These sideboxes are also used to discuss and introduct the students to other important analytical methods, including mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy.
Illustration of methods goes beyond the standard inorganic and organic analyses that are common in many texts, and includes examples from fields that range from environmental science, pollution monitoring and industrial processes to pharmaceutical science, food testing, and clinical analyses.
End-of-chapter sections entitled “Topics for Discussion & Review” enable instructors and students to explore material and methods that are related to those presented in the chapter but that are normally not covered in a traditional course on quantitative analysis.
Exercises incorporated throughout the each chapter and end-of-chapter homework problems reinforce the topics introduced in the chapter-opening scenario. Most of these problems can be solved using elementary algebra. Sections are also included at the end of each chapter with “Challenge Problems,” some of which involve the use of spreadsheets and all of which allow the student to address the chapter’s material on a more in depth level.
