About the Book

The book sets out the theoretical aspects of a course in analytical chemistry for students of universities and agricultural college specializing in the science of soils and agrochemistry. It treats the ionic state of elements in solutions and all kinds of chemical equilibrium (homogeneous, heterogeneous, oxidation-reduction equilibrium, and the equilibrium of a complexing process) including their quantitative characteristics. It describes organic reagents used in analytical chemistry, analytical reactions, and the fundamentals of some methods of separating, elements (precipitation, extraction, chromatography, and distillation).

It discusses the theory of gravimetric and all kinds of titrimetric analysis (acid-base, oxidation-reduction, complexation, and precipitation titration). Attention is also given to error analysis and processing the results of measurements. All the sections of the book contain specific examples and typical working problems.
