The gold standard in analytical chemistry, Dan Harris’ Quantitative Chemical Analysis provides a sound physical understanding of the principles of analytical chemistry and their applications in the disciplines

Chemistry 2e is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the two-semester general chemistry course. The textbook provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of chemistry and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. The book also includes a number of innovative features, including interactive exercises and real-world applications, designed to enhance student learning. The second edition has been revised to incorporate clearer, more current, and more dynamic explanations, while maintaining the same organization as the first edition. Substantial improvements have been made in the figures, illustrations, and example exercises that support the text narrative. Changes made in Chemistry 2e are described in the preface to help instructors transition to the second edition.

Designed for a sophomore/junior course in analytical chemistry or quantitative analysis, this text focuses on the quantitative aspects of the discipline using a unified approach. Emphasis is placed on developing visual tools for understanding complicated solution equilibria. To these ends, extensive use is made of graphical methods, such as the easily sketched stick diagrams, which can be used to guide analytical calculations and takes the guesswork out of numerical approximations. Optional spreadsheet exercises are closely integrated with the text and can therefore serve to introduce the student to the use of computers for chemical calculations.

This title presents concepts and procedures in a manner that reflects the practice and applications of these methods in today's analytical laboratories. 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.

This updated book of quantitative inorganic analysis has been extended to incorporate sections of basic theory and modern approaches to sampling as well as the attendant difficulties in obtaining representative samples from bulk materials. The statistics have been restructured to provide a logical stepwise approach and the section covering solvent extraction and chromatographic procedures has been extensively revised. details of Fourier Transform techniques and derivative spectroscopy are included for the first time along with a general up-date on instrument design. A full revision has been made of the appendices and other tables have been extended to include more organic compounds and additional appendices include correlation tables for infrared, absorption characteristics for ultraviolet/visible and additional statistical tables along with essential atomic weights. chemistry is a substantial laboratory requirement, as well as for technicians and practising analysts.

The manual contains the solutions to every question in the book with additional and more detailed steps than in previous editions.
