Summary

This undergraduate text provides detailed discussions of the major chemical analytical techniques, including innovations, used in all phases of instrumental analysis. It shows how each technique relates to the others, and illustrates the benefits and limitations of each. This fifth edition offers updated chapters on mass spectrometry chromatography, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, plasma emission, atomic absorption and hyphenated techniques. A new section is included on the spectral interpretation of infrared spectroscopy, MS, and NMR; and each section contains additional review questions (with all answers in the Solutions Manual).
