Compact, example-driven guide to quantitative analysis for the chemistry laboratory.
This translation presents a compact, thoroughly useful manual of quantitative analysis for the American student of chemistry. It emphasizes teaching the subject by means of clear, example-driven determinations and practical separations, from simple tests to more complex alloy and mineral analyses.
The book focuses on methods that can be used in real laboratory work, avoiding procedures with limited use. It covers a broad range of determinations and separations, including products and minerals met in applied chemistry, with guidance that favors practical results over theory alone.
- Step-by-step approaches to common quantitative techniques and precipitations
- Procedures tailored to minerals, alloys, and related chemical products
- Practical, reliability-tested methods suitable for teaching laboratories
- Historical context and notes from the translator about the text’s use in universities
Ideal for readers who want hands-on, reliable instruction in classical quantitative analysis and lab work.
