Analytical chemistry is a sub discipline of chemistry that has the broad mission of understanding the chemical composition of all matter and developing the tools to elucidate such compositions. This differs from other sub disciplines of chemistry in that it is not intended to understand the physical basis for the observed chemistry as with physical chemistry and it is not intended to control or direct chemistry as is often the case in organic chemistry and it is not necessarily intended to provide engineering tactics as are often used in materials science.
This book is a introductory text of analytical chemistry that meets the needs of all instructors. With coverage in both traditional topics and modern-day topics, instructors will have the flexibility to customise their course into what they feel is necessary for their students to comprehend the concepts of analytical chemistry. |
