Description

With the 7th Edition of Analytical Chemistry renowned chemists, Purnendu (Sandy) Dasgupta and Kevin Schug, both of the University of Texas Arlington, join the author team. The new edition focuses on more in-depth coverage of the principles and techniques of quantitative analysis and instrumental analysis (aka Analytical Chemistry). The goal of the text is to provide a foundation of the analytical process, tools, and computational methods and resources, and to illustrate with problems that bring realism to the practice and importance of analytical chemistry. It is designed for undergraduate college students majoring in chemistry and in fields related to chemistry.

About the Author

New to Edition
  • Professor’s Favorite Examples and Professor’s Favorite Problems have been added throughout the text. We asked professors and practicing analytical chemists to suggest new analytical examples and problems, especially as they relate to real world practice.
  • New chapter (chapter 17) on mass spectrometry, since this is increasingly a routine and powerful analytic tool. Another new chapter (Chapter 18) dedicated to thermal methods of analysis introduced.
  • Significant updates to the liquid chromatography chapter (chapter 16) that not only give the fundamentals of various techniques, how they evolved and their operation, but also what the capabilities of different systems are and guidance for selecting a suitable system for a specific application.
  • Revised chapters. All chapters have been revised, several extensively, especially those dealing with instrumentation to include recent technological innovations. These include the Precipitation reactions and titrations (chapter 10), spectrochemical (chapter 11), the atomic spectrometric (chapter 12), extraction methods (chapter 13), the gas chromatography (chapter 15) and liquid chromatography and electrophoresis (chapter 21).
  • Historical information is added throughout to put into perspective how the tools have been developed and evolved.
  • Some Experiments have been included in the book. All experiments are available for download from the book companion site.
  • Multipul Choice Questions have been added at the end of each chapter.
Features
  • Each chapter is introduced with key learning objectives to help students focus on the key topics.
  • Detailed instructions are given on how to use and take advantage of spreadsheets in analytical calculations, plotting, and data processing. The use of Excel Goal Seek and Excel Solver is introduced for solving complex problems.
  • There are 42 experiments, grouped by topic, illustrating most of the measurement techniques presented in the text. Each contains a description of the principles and chemical reactions involved so the student gains an overview of what is being determined and how.
  • Problems and Recommended References are grouped by topic, for ease in assignment.  Numerous references are classics with historical but valuable information, but references have been extensively updated. 
  • PowerPoint slides of all figures and tables in the text are posted on the book website for each chapter, with summaries of text material for each.
