Analytical chemistry /

Abstract

This seventh edition is extensively rewritten, offering new and updated material. The goal was to provide the student with a foundation of the analytical process, tools, and computational methods and resources, and to illustrate with problems that bring realism to the practice and importance of analytical chemistry. We take advantage of digital technologies to provide supplementary material, including videos, website materials, spreadsheet calculations, and so forth (more on these below). We introduce the chapters with examples of representative uses of a technique, what its unique capabilities may be, and indicate what techniques may be preferred or limited in scope. The beginning of each chapter lists key learning objectives for the chapter, with page numbers for specific objectives. This will help students focus on the core concepts as they read the chapter.
