Yeah this one is excellent, I see this title pop up everywhere

Also Quantitative Chemical Analysis 7th Edition by Daniel C. Harris is excellent too

Also Quantitative Chemical Analysis 7th Edition by Daniel C. Harris is excellent too

That book is awesome. For those who are starting out in analytical chem, "Exploring Chemical Analysis" 3rd edition is pretty good. The basics are all there, including electrochem.

God I'm getting old, I have a Harris 3rd Edition sitting on my bookshelf.

I also have Vogel's Quantitative Chemical Analysis 4th edition.

I second Harris's Quantitative Chemical Analysis. Good explanations, nice writing style, covers all the big topics and I love his appendices in the back of the book. Particularly the list of electrochemical potentials.

Hi, can anyone tell me if there is a book or website where quantitative analytical methods are available for most chemicals available please? for instance Assay of sodium nitrite for example. thanks.

Post by: Turk on July 12, 2011, 07:03:24 PM
Hello everyone,

I am taking a class called quantitative analysis next semester and i want to get ahead, and so i was thinking of ordering a guide book.

there are two books that ive looked at but im not quite sure if they are helpful,

Show me the numbers
Now you see it: simple visualization...

both by stephen few.

If there are any other self study books that perhaps will help me gain an understanding before the class starts, please suggest them.

I really appreciate all the help.

Thank you

Don't even bother buying a book, you'll read one chapter out of it.

Quantitative analysis is this:

learn standard deviation and 95% confidence interval (and other incredibly boring statistic calculations), and know how to titrate, and you're done.

Take a look at "Quantitative Chemical Analysis" by Daniel C Harris

there is also a free web resource here http://bcs.whfreeman.com/qca/default.asp?s=&n=&i=&v=&o=&ns=0&t=&uid=0&rau=0 (http://bcs.whfreeman.com/qca/default.asp?s=&n=&i=&v=&o=&ns=0&t=&uid=0&rau=0)

That's the same book I have, it's a good book, and is used later in Instrumental Analysis, or at the very least you can get a LOT of good detail about instruments and how they work from it.  I found it in the freezer in our chemistry society and took it because the kid who used to own it graduated.

Im a bit nervous going into this class! lets see what happens.

Thanks again! ;D

Well, it seems this sub-forum didn't have a thread on best texts for Analytical Chemistry.  So we'll make this post sticky and post them here.  To start with, the people I used to work with considered a good overall introduction to analytical chemistry to be:  Instrumental Methods of Analysis, by Willard, Merritt and Dean.  http://www.amazon.com/Instrumental-Methods-Analysis-Chemistry-Willard/dp/0534081428  I'm very glad to have my fifth edition as a reference, although, I used to have an older revision, maybe third, and while the instruments were more old fashioned, I did like hearing about older, more manual methods.

Something good on GC/MS ???
Title: Book recommendations on these topics: XRD, SEM/TEM, and ICP-MS/OES
Post by: Compaq on September 01, 2014, 06:39:05 AM
Hi!

I want to read up on some analytical techniques that I will use in my thesis work. I already have PANalytical's introduction to X-ray Powder Diffraction, but I would like something larger, a book, or several books, perhaps.

I am interested in something that covers both theoretical and applied aspects, even if that means two separate books. Do anyone have any recommendations of such literature? I have an advanced bachelor course in quantum physics, some math, and 110 ECTS in chemistry, so the the theory does not need to be "high-school-ish".

If it matters, I will be analyzing particulate matter from air samples.

The ICP-MS is a high-resolution sector-field instrument. The ICP-OES is one of the Optimas, I believe.

Anyway, I would appreciate any help that would narrow my search.

Kind regards,
Anders

R.F. Egerton, "Physical Principles of Electron Microscopy" is a short book that covers the basics of SEM and TEM. A good place to start.
J.Goldstein et al, "Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Microanalysis" is a much more detailed and thorough treatment of the practice of SEM, instrumentation, sample handling and the interpretation of images. Also reasonably cheap for a hardback science book these days. Unfortunately (for you) it doesn't cover TEM, but if you're going to do a lot of SEM I can strongly recommend it.

I will mostly use SEM. Thank you for the suggestions, I will look into those!

Title: Textbooks for visual learners, analytical/ physical chem, what's the best?
Post by: dun13203171 on June 02, 2015, 07:02:20 PM
Hi guys, I am a visual learner, and respond best to detailed diagrams rather than reems of text.

I struggle mostly with physical chemistry, and sometimes analytical. I have 3 months spare now before I start a new degree and I want to hit the books hard and learn as much as I can.

What's books would be best suited for me?

Does anyone have any good suggestions for books (or e-books!) that could help me with the maths behind analytical work?

Trying to get my head around LOD/concentration calculations with interchangeable units is difficult, and I'm struggling to find anything decent online to help..

(My manager looked so relieved today, and may have actually jumped for joy, when I finally got to a solution after 30 mins)

Interesting that so many people have high praise for Quantitative Chemical Analysis by Daniel Harris. I used the 8th edition for my analytical chemistry class and didn't think it was all that great. It didn't have that many examples worked out (at least not for the stuff we were covering), and I just found the style of the textbook to be very bland. Then again, part of it was probably just the fact that I wasn't a huge fan of the class or the material.  :P

Post by: Cantacoxinha on January 26, 2018, 08:46:53 AM
I need a recommendation for a textbook that deals specifically with GC, and a separate one dealing with HPLC. Any good suggestion?

Frow which literature did you learn more detailed things about chromatographic methods? Thanks in advance.
