Classical METHODS V. 2

by John Mendham, David Dodd, Derek Cooper

During the late nineteenth century there was a concentrated effort to formalise the work of analysts, and indeed to secure the role of the analyst as a professional one. The methods which were developed during this era are all the so called 'wet methods' or 'classical methods' of analysis. These methods are often quick, cheap and reliable and still find wide application in industry. In modern parlance they are distinguished from 'instrumental methods' of analysis of which the meaning is self evident. This book continues the study of classical methods of analysis contained in the first volume. Topics covered include precipitation, gravimetric analysis, precipitation titrations, Redoc titrimetry, the roles of complexes in analytical chemistry and complexones.
