The Art And Science Of Chemical Analysis

CD-ROM contains: equations solvers; dynamic data tables; derivations; titration curves; log concentration plots; dynamic spreadsheet plots.

Chemical analysis refers to the study of the chemical composition and structure of different types of substances. The different techniques of chemical analysis are used to determine the exact chemical information of a substance. Chemical analysis is a part of analytical chemistry, which is a branch of chemistry involved in the study of instruments and methods for the separation, identification and quantification of matter. Some of the major chemical analysis procedures include isotopic analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), field flow fractionation (FFF), mass spectrometry (MS), calorimetry, and surface plasma resonance (SPR). NMR is an analytical procedure which studies the structure of molecules and the interaction of different molecules. Advancements in the field of analytical chemistry find applications in biomedicine, quality control of industrial manufacturing, environmental monitoring, and forensic science. The book aims to shed light on chemical analysis procedures and its applications. It consists of contributions made by international experts. The book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike.

Excerpt from Practical and Analytical Chemistry: Being a Complete Course in Chemical Analysis The increased amount of time devoted by students of phar macy and medicine to analytical chemistry has directed more attention to the subject of imparting instruction in this science. The object of the present volume is to place before the student as compact a course as possible, in order to enable him to become familiar with the subject in the necessarily limited time at his disposal.

Completely rewritten, revised, and updated, this Sixth Edition reflects the latest technologies and applications in spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chromatography. It illustrates practices and methods specific to each major chemical analytical technique while showcasing innovations and trends currently impacting the field. Many of the chapters have been individually reviewed by teaching professors and include descriptions of the fundamental principles underlying each technique, demonstrations of the instrumentation, and new problem sets and suggested experiments appropriate to the topic. About the authors... JAMES W. ROBINSON is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. A Fellow of the Royal Chemical Society, he is the author of over 200 professional papers and book chapters and several books including Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and Atomic Spectroscopy. He was Executive Editor of Spectroscopy Letters and the Journal of Environmental Science and Health (both titles, Marcel Dekker, Inc.) and the Handbook of Spectroscopy and the Practical Handbook of Spectroscopy (both titles, CRC Press). He received the B.Sc. (1949), Ph.D. (1952), and D.Sc. (1978) degrees from the University of Birmingham, England. EILEEN M. SKELLY FRAME recently was Clinical Assistant Professor and Visiting Research Professor, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York. Dr. Skelly Frame has extensive practical experience in the use of instrumental analysis to characterize a wide variety of substances, from biological samples and cosmetics to high temperature superconductors, polymers, metals, and alloys. Her industrial career includes supervisory roles at GE Corporate Research and Development, Stauffer Chemical Corporate R&D, and the Research Triangle Institute. She is a member of the American Chemical Society, the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, and the American Society for Testing and Materials. Dr. Skelly Frame received the B.S. degree in chemistry from Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. GEORGE M. FRAME II is Scientific Director, Chemical Biomonitoring Section of the Wadsworth Laboratory, New York State Department of Health, Albany. He has a wide range of experience in the field and has worked at the GE Corporate R&D Center, Pfizer Central Research, the U.S. Coast Guard R&D Center, the Maine Medical Center, and the USAF Biomedical Sciences Corps. He is an American Chemical Society member. Dr. Frame received the B.A. degree in chemistry from Harvard College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Ph.D. degree in analytical chemistry from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Excerpt from Qualitative Chemical Analysis: A Guide in the Practical Study of Chemistry and in the Work To aid the student in gaining an accurate acquaintance with the facts whereby analyses are made, and a clear understanding of the co-ordination of these facts - the principles of analysis - has been the chief object in this work. It is the result of experience in the constant endeavor to prevent habits of automatic operation and of superficial observation in analysis. Farther, it is desired that the book may be found convenient and reliable for ref erence by chemists, pharmacists, and others, who occasionally or habitually perform analyses. The organic bases and acids, with a few exceptions, have been omitted from con sideration. This is not done from neglect, but from a conviction of their too great importance for the subordinate and cursory attention which can be given to them in works devoted mainly to inorganic analysis. To the faithful workers who have wrought out the great science of Chemistry, the writers humbly acknowledge their indebtedness for whatever of truth or value this little manual may contain.

Excerpt from Select Methods in Chemical Analysis (Chiefly Inorganic) M will be perceived from the title of this work that the Author has not intended to provide the student with a complete text-book of analysis, but rather with a laboratory companion, containing information not usually found in ordinary works on Analysis. The Author has tested most of the new processes which have appeared during the last twelve years in the Chemical News.
