The quantitative and qualitative analysis of constituents is an essential aspect of any scientific discipline. Analytical chemistry is a collection of analytical methods that are utilized to study chemical problems. It is an essential component of the undergraduate curriculum in science and is used to explain topics such as common laboratory tools and apparatus, volumetric, gravimetric, and instrumental methods. While analytical methods may change over time, the principles of designing and validating analytical methods remain universal. This book has been written in a simple and clear manner to provide undergraduate students with a comprehensive understanding of the basic analytical principles, including volumetry, gravimetry, and instrumental methods. The goal of this book is to achieve a more balanced approach between classical and modern analytical methods, making it an ideal resource for students in the field of analytical chemistry.
