Qualitative Analysis

Analytical Chemistry plays a key role in understanding chemistry. Qualitative analytical chemistry studies not only the identification of the elements or ions, but also the identification of the substances found in a mixture. This book offers an effective means for presenting descriptive qualitative analytical chemistry. It also provides important notions of qualitative chemistry related to analytical reactions and reagents, analytical properties of ions, and solutions. Special attention is given to chemical equilibrium: ionic, proton-transfer, redox, precipitation and complexation equilibria. This paper is a must-read for students, chemistry teachers, quality assurance officers in pharmaceutical industry, but can be a reliable scientific support for any pharmacist or chemist, studying for a degree or involved in research. In a clear, attractive and accessible approach, the book explains general concepts of analytical chemistry at a level of basic understanding.
