Quantitative Chemical Analysis

Quantitative Chemical Analysis (10th Edition) is an analytical chemistry textbook designed to introduce students to fundamental measurement principles and standard analytical methods. Written by Daniel C. Harris and Charles A. Lucy, this text supports chemistry students in examining laboratory measurement techniques, evaluating experimental error, and conducting precise quantitative calculations throughout the analytical process.

The curriculum opens with core analytical methodologies, covering the analytical process, chemical measurements, tools of the trade, experimental error, and statistical methods. The material then details quality assurance and calibration methods before advancing to chemical equilibrium concepts, including activity, the systematic treatment of equilibrium, and both monoprotic and polyprotic acid-base equilibria.

In this tenth edition, co-author Charles A. Lucy joined Dan Harris to incorporate extensive classroom experience and specialized subject expertise into the written text. The textbook pairs directly with Macmillan's Achieve online learning platform, delivering structured online tools and practice to support chemistry coursework.
