Problems of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry: A Hands-On Guide

The complex field of analytical chemistry requires knowledge and application of the fundamental principles of numerical calculation. Problems of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry provides support and guidance to help students develop these numerical strategies to generate information from experimental results in an efficient and reliable way. The book contains exercises that provide standard protocols for the most common calculations in the daily work of a laboratory. Also included are easy-to-follow diagrams to facilitate understanding and avoid common errors, making this textbook perfect as a hands-on accompaniment to in-class learning.The subjects covered follow a course in analytical chemistry from the initial basics of data analysis to applications of mass, UV-VIS, infrared and atomic spectrometry and chromatography, concluding with an overview of nuclear magnetic resonance and electrochemistry. Intended as a self-training tool for undergraduates in chemistry, analytical chemistry and related subjects, this book is also useful as a reference for scientists looking to brush up on their knowledge of instrumental techniques in laboratories.This second edition builds upon the first with new and updated content, as well as QR codes distributed throughout, directing readers to dedicated materials and websites hosting additional information, examples and models.
