Researchers in physical, inorganic and organic chemistry, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical science, forensics, and environmental science often make routine use of chemical analysis in their daily activities. Like its bestselling predecessor, this second edition will be their first stop for reference information when designing those analyses, and in interpreting the data obtained from those analyses. The new edition features updated sections on chromatography and new sections on spectroscopic methods, mass spectrometry, electrophoresis, electrochemical analysis, and solvent properties. It also includes new information on qualitative tests, unit conversions, physical constants, hazardous materials, and fittings for gas and liquid transfer lines.
