This workbook takes you through the successful work Harris, Textbook of Quantitative Analysis and is designed primarily for self-study. In five parts, the lecture content of analytical chemistry is summarized and explained using selected examples. Basic concepts of analytical chemistry are presented as well as the principle and various techniques of dimensional analysis and chromatography. UV/VIS, infrared and Raman spectroscopy are used to explain the investigation of molecularly present compounds, and selected techniques of atomic spectroscopy conclude the introduction to the fundamentals of analysis. The textbook's essential sections and illustrations are repeatedly referred to, which facilitates independent learning of the fundamentals of analytical chemistry. Easy to read, the book introduces the fundamentals and key techniques of analytical chemistry; it is aimed at undergraduate students of chemistry or related science subjects. It repeatedly refersback to the basics familiar from courses in general chemistry, so that the connections between what is already known and what is new become immediately apparent. Learning with this workbook has been tested in a distance learning chemistry course and facilitates preparation for module examinations in analytical chemistry. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Analytische Chemie I by Ulf Ritgen, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
