Book, Quantitative Chemical Analysis 9/17[LS]

Quantitative Chemical Analysis, by Daniel C. Harris and Charles A. Lucy, offers the reader a solid understanding of the principles of Analytical Chemistry, highlighting the fundamental role of this knowledge for the appropriate use of science in our daily lives. Among the improvements in this edition, we highlight a new section on X-ray fluorescence used as a routine analytical tool; a sequence of microphotographs showing the beginning of crystallization of a precipitate; and three new sample preparation methods. Furthermore, each topic in the work is introduced and illustrated with concrete examples, which highlight the importance of Analytical Chemistry for our daily lives and various areas of scientific research. Created based on the introductory Analytical Chemistry course that professor Daniel C. Harris taught at University of California, in the United States, this work helps students to develop critical and independent reasoning that can be applied to new problems in Chemistry and other sciences.
