This book of general analytical chemistry - as opposed to instrumental analysis or separation methods - in aqueous solutions is focuses on fundamentals, which is an area too often overlooked in the literature. Explanations abound ofthe chemical and physical principles of different operations of chemical analysis in aqueous solutions. Once these principle are firmly established, numerous examples of applications are also given. Explains the fundamentals underlying analytical chemistry. Gives numerous examples both of these principles and their applications. The author explains how various analytical methods help to calculate the different species that result from equilibria in aqueous solutions. INDICE: Solvents: Composition of solutions.
