Chemistry Experiments for Instrumental Methods

The only self-contained modern laboratory manual for advanced undergraduate courses in instrumental analysis. Consists of over 50 experiments demonstrating the theory and practice of electrochemical methods, methods based on electromagnetic radiation, and separation methods. Experiments are introduced with a review of the physical principles on which the experimental procedures are based. ELECTROCHEMICAL METHODS.
