The
Applied Chemistry from the University of Barcelona PDF is an application
guide for lab practice experiments that a student should go through; it covers
plenty of various types of laboratory experiments and chemical principles, such
as practical applications in terms of synthesis for coordination compounds,
titration methods, and extraction of caffeine from beverages, with essential
concepts in terms of the Lambert-Beer law, redox titrations, and kinetics of
reactions. It is a resource that encourages hands-on learning as it gives the
learner the opportunity to test or try out theoretical knowledge using
experimenters. It is mixed with practical laboratory techniques that blend
foundational chemistry concepts and, thus, very helpful in students who intend
to develop practical experience in applied chemistry.
Laboratory
manuals and the like generally contain little more than mere descriptions of
technical methods of analysis, and explanations of the underlying chemical
principles or of their applications are seldom attempted. It is evident that
such books can be of very little help to students. The mechanism of the
reactions involved in analytical methods is by no means so clear that
explanation is unnecessary, since a student usually begins technical analysis at
a comparatively early stage in his course. This book is a solution for all these
difficulties.The author, as lecturer in the Darmstadt Technical School, knows
from his long experience that it is just the emphasis laid upon the technical
application of an analysis which deepens the student's knowledge and
understanding of chemical processes.
