Analytical Chemistry

by Douglas A Skoog

Published 1 January 1986
Readability combines with a complete and systematic presentation of material in the sixth edition of this classic, student-oriented textbook. Simple language, new worked examples and problems, and concentrated coverage of topics in smaller units provide majors and nonmajors with a solid introduction to quantitative analytical chemistry in a one- or two- semester course. Features on biomedical, biological, and environmental topics will interest students studyting medicine, allied health, and other areas. Mathcad Computer Exercise Supplement introduces students to a powerful and versatile mathematical tool and its application to problems and computations of analytical chemistry. Many references in this paperback supplement refer to problems and examples in the textbook. Solutions Manual saves instructors time and may also be used as a student study aid.

Readability combined with a systematic, rigorous approach characterize this classic text. Extensive coverage of the principles and practices of quantitative chemistry makes this text suitable for chemistry and science students. Once of the co-authors, Douglas Skoog, received the 1993 ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Award for Excellence in Teaching because of his fine texts. Features: * Clarity and readability. These are two of the strengths of the new edition of Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry 7/e. The authors have retained the lucid style that characterized earlier editions. In this edition, Special attention to language makes the text even more student friendly. * This text is presented with approrpiate rigor, particularly in the treatment of equilibrium calculations. This provides the student with the fundamentals required for the understanding and use of all branches of chemistry. * Fundamentals fo Analytical Chemistry 7/e presents a broad coverage of topics that allow the instructor maximum flexibility. * Mathcad Applications for Analytical Chemistry.
This supplement introduces students to Mathcad - a powerful and versatile mathematical tool - and its application to problems and computations of analytical chemistry, correlated to the text - the only one of its kind.

Please see page for further information. Features: * Excellent balance between theory and the practical aspects of the subject. * The text treats all of the important instrumental methods of analysis, which are widely used in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, geology, and medicine. * Very clearly written and organised. New to this edition: * Several new chapters, including Capillary Electrophoresis and Capillary Electrochromatography, and Atomic Mass Spectrometry. * A separate chapter on supercritical fluid chromatography presents much newer material that has been developed in the last 5-6 years. * Completely rewritten chapters on Signal, Noise, Figures of Merit, Operational Amplifiers, and Digital Electronics, Microprocessors and Computers.
