I am pleased to present the book on Analytical Chemistry for Undergraduates in the hands of students learning analytical chemistry at undergraduate level and the teachers of analytical chemistry. The book is written by keeping in mind curriculum of analytical chemistry prescribed by UGC that is taught at different levels through different papers.
Analytical chemistry is the core part of curriculum of chemistry. Therefore, there is need of understanding it from very basics. The book focuses on understanding the terms and principles involved in analytical chemistry. The book aims to explain techniques of analysis with simple examples. The content of this book attempts to clarify the fundamentals of the subject without going through exhaustive details.
In this book of analytical chemistry, we have tried to cover classical methods of analysis like volumetric analysis and gravimetric analysis. We have also emphasized on study of various instrumental methods of analysis. The book also includes study of classical separation techniques like solvent extraction and modern techniques like chromatography.
To develop interest of learners, labelled diagrams and solved problems are given wherever necessary. At the end of each chapter, multiple choice questions, short answer questions and long answer questions are also given.
Considering the depth of undergraduate students, book is written in very simple language and unnecessary explanation is avoided. It will definitely generate interest of the learner in understanding of the subject. I hope this book will be useful for the undergraduate students of chemistry.
