Classical Methods (Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning) (Volume 1)

Although much chemical analysis is centred around modern instrumentation, many methods developed during the nineteenth century are still relevant and applicable. These so called "wet methods" or "classical methods" are widely used in industry and often have the merit of being quick, cheap and reliable. These two volumes explore this topic by considering the role of chemical equilibrium in analysis before a thorough examination of volumetric and gravimetric analysis.
