Analytical Chemistry: A Practical Approach

The field of analytical chemistry is concerned with the separation, identification and quantification of matter. It consists of a diverse range of methods, such as classical wet chemical methods and instrumental methods. Separation methods of extraction, precipitation and distillation are qualitative classical methods. Identification is generally achieved on the basis of differences in melting point, color, odor, boiling point, reactivity or radioactivity. Instrumental methods separate samp...
