Enables students to progressively build and apply new skills
and knowledge

Designed to be completed in one semester, this text enables
students to fully grasp and apply the core concepts of analytical
chemistry and aqueous chemical equilibria. Moreover, the text
enables readers to master common instrumental methods to perform a
broad range of quantitative analyses. Author Brian Tissue has
written and structured the text so that readers progressively build
their knowledge, beginning with the most fundamental concepts and
then continually applying these concepts as they advance to more
sophisticated theories and applications.

Basics of Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Equilibria is
clearly written and easy to follow, with plenty of examples to help
readers better understand both concepts and applications. In
addition, there are several pedagogical features that enhance the
learning experience, including:

* Emphasis on correct IUPAC terminology

* "You-Try-It" spreadsheets throughout the text, challenging
readers to apply their newfound knowledge and skills

* Online tutorials to build readers' skills and assist them in
working with the text's spreadsheets

* Links to analytical methods and instrument suppliers

* Figures illustrating principles of analytical chemistry and
chemical equilibria

* End-of-chapter exercises

Basics of Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Equilibria is
written for undergraduate students who have completed a basic
course in general chemistry. In addition to chemistry students,
this text provides an essential foundation in analytical chemistry
needed by students and practitioners in biochemistry, environmental
science, chemical engineering, materials science, nutrition,
agriculture, and the life sciences.
