This text is designed for the one-term Quantitative Analysis/Analytical Chemistry course for students majoring in Chemistry and related fields. It deals with principles and techniques of quantitative analysis. Examples of analytical techniques are drawn from such areas as life sciences, clinical chemistry, air and water pollution, and industrial analyses. The Sixth Edition is extensively revised and updated with a more modern flavor and a new, two-color design.
