Practical Volumetric Analysis: AAA (A. C. McPherson Peter)(Paperback)

Proficiency in volumetric analysis is a key skill for chemists in research and industry. This work seeks to ‘modernise’ approaches to volumetric analysis, by relating practical work to vocationally-relevant topics, whilst maintaining the rigor required for satisfactory performance in practical examinations. Written by someone who has experienced both teaching and working as a research chemist, this up to date textbook on practical volumetric analysis will provide the theoretical chemistry associated with volumetric analysis supported by a selection of practicals. There will also be suggestions for a number of investigations which could form the basis of project-based learning or coursework, particularly for those pursing vocational science courses.Section 1 will consist of three theory chapters, covering preliminary concepts (fundamentals of chemistry, essential quantitative chemistry and concepts of statistics). Section 2 will be divided into four chapters, based on the four main divisions of volumetric analysis (acid-base titrimetry, redox titrimetry, precipitation titrimetry and complexometric titrimetry). Each chapter in this section will start with a review of essential theory, with worked examples and illustrations where appropriate, and end with a selection of laboratory practicals. Each chapter will also contain a number of open-ended investigations, for use in project-based learning or coursework. Section 3 will address more advanced topics and be divide
