Compendium of Analytical Nomenclature: Definitive Rules 1977 focuses on the recommended nomenclature and symbols to be used in various disciplines of analytical chemistry. The book first offers information on recommendations for the presentation of the results of chemical analysis; recommendations for terminology to be employed with precision balances; and recommendations on nomenclature for contamination phenomena in precipitation from aqueous solution. The text also takes a look at recommended nomenclature for automatic analysis and recommendations for nomenclature of thermal analysis and mass spectrometry, as well as recommended nomenclature for titrimetric analysis. The publication reviews the practical measurements of pH in amphiprotic and mixed solvents. Topics include operational pH scale; selection of a pH unit for amphiprotic solvents; and interpretation of the measured pH. The text also considers the recommendations on nomenclature and presentation of data in gas chromatography and recommendations on nomenclature for chromatography. The book is a valuable source of data for readers wanting to study analytical nomenclature.

This authoritative compendium will be invaluable to all who need to use the officially recommended analytical nomenclature adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. Prior to 1977, these recommendations were only available in the individual reports as they appeared, from time to time in the IUPAC journal, Pure and Applied Chemistry. The present work is a revision and extension of the first edition of the Compendium, published in 1978, and includes the additional nomenclature reports which have been finalized and/or updated by IUPAC since 1977

First printed in 1978, this latest edition takes into account the expansion of new analytical procedures and at the same time the diversity of the techniques and the quality and performance characteristics of the procedures. This new volume will be an indispensable reference resource for the coming decade, revising and updating additional accepted terminology.
