This book provides notes for basic laboratory experiments in qualitative analysis of cations. The book introduces readers to basic methods and laboratory safety. Subsequent chapters cover six groups of cations. Each chapter explains important details that are required to understand how a particular analytical method works for detecting cations in samples, starting from sedimentation and ending with the identification. Key Features: - Simple, reader friendly format - introductory notes and summary - Covers several groups of metals - Appendix for handy reference with tables and references This is a useful textbook for early chemistry students and teachers as it equips the readers with sufficient information required to analyze chemical samples and deduce the presence of specific cations as part of laboratory coursework.

A thorough revision of this successful problem book, providing a clear, concise, and careful presentation of simple and direct methods for solving numerical problems that illustrate chemical principles . . . using dimensional analysis throughout and including numerous worked examples. Strict adherence to significant figures is observed in numerical solutions; problems are presented with difficulty levels ranging from straightforward to challenging-with answers to all numerical problems found in an appendix. Also introduces SI units.

Emphasises on contemporary applications and an intuitive problem-solving approach that helps students discover the exciting potential of chemical science. This book incorporates fresh applications from the three major areas of modern research: materials, environmental chemistry, and biological science.

The gold standard in analytical chemistry, Dan Harris’ Quantitative Chemical Analysis provides a sound physical understanding of the principles of analytical chemistry and their applications in the disciplines
