It provides a thorough introduction to the three areas of spectrometry most widely used in spectrometric identification: mass spectrometry, infrared spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. A how-to, hands-on teaching manual with considerably expanded NMR coverage--NMR spectra can now be intrepreted in exquisite detail. This book: * Uses a problem-solving approach with extensive reference charts and tables. * Offers an extensive set of real-data problems offers a challenge to the practicing chemist

    The text covers the same ground as previous editions, presenting the general theory of chemical equilibrium, including its statistical development, and illustrating its many applications in the laboratory and industry. This edition has been extensively revised in the light of recent contributions to the literature. Many new references have been added; the re-writing of certain passages, especially of those concerning the statistical interpretation of entropy and the present understanding of order-disorder transitions, also reflects changes of emphasis.

    Competing books present a more theoretical presentation of kinetics. This book is a how to book for designing experiments, analyzing them and critiquing them. This book also prepares chemists to devise experiments to test different hypothesis. A large number of examples from the research literature have been used as the main teaching tool. Each book will come with a diskette that helps solve end-of-chapter problems.

    Expanded to include coverage for process operators, this authoritative resource contains in-depth details on chemical safety, laboratory procedures, chemical nomenclature, basic electricity, laboratory statistics, and instrumental techniques. Step-by-step directions for performing virtually every laboratory task are also included in this practical guide.COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE INCLUDES: Chemical process industry workers and government regulationsChemical plant and laboratory safetyChemical handling and hazard communicationHandling compressed gasesPressure and vacuumMathematics review and conversion tablesStandard operating proceduresLaboratory glasswarepH measurementBasic electricitySamplingLaboratory filtrationRecrystallizationThe balanceGravimetric analysisPreparation of solutionsProcess analyzersPlumbing, valves, and pumpsPhysical properties and determinationsExtractionDistillation and evaporationInorganic and organic chemistry reviewChemical calculations and concentration expressionsVolumetric analysisChromatographySpectroscopyAtomic absorption spectroscopy

    It is, as wasthe first edition, the definitive work. -Short Book Reviews (Publication of the International StatisticalInstitute)The text contains many examples with worked solutions and with itsextensive coverage of the subject matter will prove invaluable tothose in the industrial and educational sectors whose work involvesthe design and analysis of mixture experiments. -Journal of the Royal Statistical SocietyThe author has done a great job in presenting the vitalinformation on experiments with mixtures in a lucid and readablestyle. . . . A very informative, interesting, and useful book on animportant statistical topic. -Zentralblatt fur Mathematik und Ihre GrenzgebieteExperiments with Mixtures shows researchers and students how todesign and set up mixture experiments, then analyze the data anddraw inferences from the results. Virtually every technique thathas appeared in the literature of mixtures can be found here, andcomputing formulas for each method are provided with completelyworked examples. Almost all of the numerical examples are takenfrom real experiments. Coverage begins with Scheffe latticedesigns, introducing the use of independent variables, and endswith the most current methods. New material includes: * Multiple response cases * Residuals and least-squares estimates * Categories of components: Mixtures of mixtures * Fixed as well as variable values for the major componentproportions * Leverage and the Hat Matrix * Fitting a slack-variable model * Estimating components of variances in a mixed model using ANOVAtable entries * Clarification of blocking mates and choice of mates * Optimizing several responses simultaneously * Biplots for multiple responses
