Opis

Among analytical chemistry's most versatile and commonly used techniques is ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy. This edition introduces all the practical aspects for quantitative analysis. The fundamentals are explained by reference to the analysis of real samples. There is a new chapter on the important technique of derivative spectroscopy and sections on standard addition and photometric titration. The book contains self assessment questions (SAQ's) with responses and numerous examples to assist students and practitioners.

The technique of ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy is one of the most flexible tools available to the analytical chemist, with numerous practical applications across a wide range of fields. This book provides an introduction to the technique which will give newcomers to the field a good understanding of the basic principles, and a wealth of practical information. The reader is first carefully introduced to the basics of the technique, and some of the key instrumentation used, while later chapters consider both quantitative and qualitative aspects. Highly practical information is given in the chapter on spectroscopic determinations, while there is also a chapter devoted to derivative spectroscopy. This second edition of Ultraviolet and Visible Spectroscopy will prove invaluable to all those studying and using this technique for the first time. Self–assessment questions allow readers to progress through the book confident that they are acquiring the knowledge to enable them to make effective use of this technique in the laboratory. Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning This series provides a uniquely comprehensive and integrated coverage of analytical chemistry, covering basic concepts, classical methods, instrumental techniques and applications. The learning objectives of each text are clearly identified and the student′s understanding of the material is constantly challenged by self–assessment questions with reinforcing or remedial responses. The overall objective of Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning is to enable the student to select and apply appropriate methods and techniques to solve analytical problems, and to interpret the results obtained.
