Analytical Chemistry Quantitative And Qualitative Analysis

Book envelops various analytical procedures including their principle and application in chemical and drug analysis.

Analytical chemistry is the branch of chemistry which separates, identifies and measures matter. The methods used in analytical chemistry can be classified into classical methods, wet chemical methods and instrumental methods. It can be applied in a number of fields such as medicine, forensic science, environmental science, etc. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of analytical chemistry. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.

Excerpt from Elements of Qualitative and Quantitative Chemical Analysis In this work the author has brought together what has already been published, separately, in the Manual of Qualitative Chemical Analysis, by himself and Dr. S. M. Babcock, and the Notes on Chemical Analysis, by himself alone; he has added thereto much matter on qualitative analysis, all of Parts III and IV on quantitative analysis, and nearly all of Part V. Of course no such work as this can be satisfactorily prepared without frequent reference to the standard treatises of Prescott and Johnson, and of Fresenius, in one of which the whole subject of qualitative analysis is very thoroughly treated, and in the other both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The author would acknowledge his indebtedness to these works, while claiming for himself at least some novelty in the arrange ment of the matter, as well as in some of the matter itself, in this attempt to prepare a book that is much needed in his own laboratory. Also, for valuable suggestions in the revision of the work for this edition, he is indebted to Professor Dennis, and Instructors Chamot and Smith, of the University. Certain modifications in the spelling of chemical terms, adopted, after very careful consideration, by the Chemical Sec tion of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, are used in this book.

The practice of identification, separation and quantification of matter is under the scope of analytical chemistry. Such analyses can be qualitative or quantitative. Qualitative analysis identifies analytes whereas quantitative analysis determines numerical concentration of the analytes. Separation techniques of precipitation, distillation and extraction, and wet chemical and classical methods are commonly used. Improvements in experimental design, creation of new tools of measurement and chemometrics are significant aspects of analytical chemistry. This textbook aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of analytical chemistry. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of analytical chemistry as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.

The branch of chemistry which deals with the analysis of substances is called analytical chemistry. It involves the use of classical methods such as Kastle-Meyer test, flame tests, gravimetric and volumetric analysis. Modern methods in this field includes spectroscopy, calorimetry and electrochemical methods which are used for separation, identification and quantification of matter. Analytical chemistry is further divided into two broader areas, namely, quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis determines the absolute or relative quantity regarding the concentration of one or more substances present in a sample or compound. Qualitative analysis focuses on determining the quality of a particular compound, irrespective of its quantity or concentration. The principles of analytical chemistry have widespread use in the food and beverage industry, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry and agricultural industry. The topics included in this book on analytical chemistry are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
