Quantitative analysis by measure helps you estimate chemical substances quickly and accurately.
This is a comprehensive handbook on volumetric analysis, adapted for pure chemical research, pathology, pharmacy, metallurgy, manufacturing, photography, and the valuation of substances used in commerce and the arts. It covers the theory, apparatus, and procedures you need to perform precise titrations in liquids, solids, and gases, with clear guidance for reliable results in real-world settings.
Inside you’ll find practical guidance on preparing standard solutions, using the burette, pipette, and measuring flasks, and reading graduated instruments correctly. The book emphasizes the main advantage of volumetric methods: speed, accuracy, and simpler equipment than gravimetric approaches, making it a reliable reference for the working chemist.
- Foundational principles of volumetric analysis and its advantages over weight-based methods
- Detailed description of essential glassware and how to use them properly
- Techniques for preparing normal and titrated solutions and carrying out common titrations
- Methods and examples across water analysis, gases, and a broad range of substances used in industry
Ideal for students, lab technicians, and professionals who need a practical, well‑structured reference for quantitative chemical analysis.
