Description

---

This book is intended as a tool for undergraduate students, building upon the first edition of Problems of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry with new, updated detailed content.As European Universities converged to the EEES Bologna space, the time available for theoretical and practical lessons at the classroom has reduced dramatically. The fundamental principles and basic theory of Analytical Chemistry are covered by many wonderful textbooks, but the numerical part is not. Although it is true that many of them present some worked examples, the students need more support. Indeed, many teachers have observed a serious decline in the calculation capabilities of their students.This book is intended to help undergraduate students of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry develop strategies to generate information from experimental results in an efficient and reliable way. The exercises will provide standard protocols that students can follow to address the most common calculation steps required in laboratory daily work. It is assumed that they will use the hands-on guide after the basic principles of the analytical techniques were presented in their classes. Easy-to-follow diagrams are included to facilitate understanding of the calculations and avoid common errors.As a novelty, QR codes are inserted into the text to offer additional extra information and/or links to reputed websites with additional explanations and/or computer animations. This new feature is a distinctive one, very rare in scientific or teaching-oriented books.
