T h e textbook is designed for a onesemester course in q u a n t i t a t i v e analysis for chemistry majora as well as nonmajors. It will be a p p r o p r i a t e for com bined classes or classes enrolling p r c p r o fessional students as well as students majoring in t h e life sciences. T h e c h a p ters fall into four categories: (1) t h e first five chapters cover introductory material and t h e fundamental calcula tions involved in all types of analysis; (2) chapters 6 to 11 discuss the basic theory and practice of precipitation, neutralization, and oxidation-reduction m e t h o d s : (3) a third set of chapters deals with separations and simple elec trochemical and photometric instru m e n t a t i o n : and (4) the last two c h a p ters examine the reliability of analytical results and the techniques required for
q u a n t i t a t i v e l a b o r a t o r y work. Ap pendices include a review of inorganic nomenclature, a discussion of the use of logarithms, a simple solubility table, a review of literature, and all the neces sary tables. T h i s text is p a r t of a co ordinated package which includes text, laboratory manual, and teacher's manuals.

T h e second edition of this text is pri marily the same as the first. T h e au thors have tried to expand some of the material which they feel was covered too briefly in (heir first edition. T h e y have also added material on significant newer methods of separation and analy sis. T h e a u t h o r s have also increased the number and variety of problems at the ends of the chapters. T h e basic c h a p t e r on colorimetric and spectrophotometric methods has been com pletely rewritten with greater emphasis on modern methods and equipment. Two new chapter.* also have been added. A chapter on potentiometric measurements with ion-selective elec
trodes points u p t h e developments in this area. T h e other new chapter treats the elementary theory of visible and u v spectra, florescence methods, and de duction of t h e s t r u c t u r e of organic com pounds from ir spectra. ' T h e material in this book is sufficient for a one-year course in qualitative analytical chem istry, particularly if some supple m e n t a r y reading is assigned from chem ical journals or books.

This lab m a n u a l is based on the con viction t h a t ehemislry is an experi mental science, and t h a t laboratory work in general chemistry is i m p o r t a n t and deserves the best possible presenta tion in order that it can be an effective introduction to experimental work. Lab work is the essence of chemistry ; therefore, the a u t h o r of this m a n u a l wanted to present a book thai would be of value now and t h a t the student would w a n t to keep for future reference. This manual is divided into six sections: I. Identification of substances b y physi cal p r o p e r t i e s : I I . Solutions: H I . Acids (Cutiliiittctl ou liage SiïA)
