Skoog and West´s Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry

This Cengage Technology Edition is the result of an innovative and collaborative development process. The textbook retains the hallmark approach of this respected text, whilst presenting the content in a print and digital hybrid that has been tailored to meet the rapidly developing demands of today’s lecturers and students. This blended solution offers a streamlined textbook for greater accessibility and convenience, complemented by a bolstered online presence, for a truly multi-faceted learning experience.nnSkoog and West’s Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry provides a thorough background in the chemical principles that are particularly important to analytical chemistry. Students using this book will develop an appreciation for the difficult task of judging the accuracy and precision of experimental data and to show how these judgements can be sharpened by applying statistical methods to analytical data.nnThe book introduces a broad range of modern and classic techniques that are useful in analytical chemistry; as well as giving students the skills necessary for both obtaining data in the laboratory and solving quantitative analytical problems.nnFeaturesnn Exclusive photographs taken by renowned chemistry photographer Charlie Winters make it easier for students to understand key principles and processes. Each chapter begins with an application-type photograph and an accompanying relevant and interesting story.n Feature boxes throughout the text cover a wide range of topics, including descriptions of Breath Alcohol Analyzers, Lap-on-a-Chip Technology, Modified Electrodes, Enzymatic Determination of Urea, GC/MS, C/MS, LC/MS/MS, and Capillary Electrophoresis in DNA Sequencing.n The art program features Microsoft® Excel® screenshots, techniques, procedures, and applications with descriptive captions that visually reinforce student understanding.n Molecular models, used liberally in most chapters, stimulate interest in the beauty of molecular structures and reinforce structural concepts and descriptive chemistry presented in general chemistry and upper-level courses.n A wide spectrum of applications, including developments in biology, medicine, and environmental science, illustrates the exciting nature of the field and enhances the relevancy of the material.n Thought-provoking and research-oriented ‘Challenge’ problems at the end of each chapter in the eBook, based on data from the literature, current topics of interest, and information accessible on the Internet engage students with today''s hot topics.
