    Daniel C. Harris

    Dan Harris was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1948.  He earned degrees in Chemistry from MIT in 1968 and Caltech 1973 and was a postdoc at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.  After teaching at the University of California at Davis from 1975-1980 and at Franklin and Marshall College from 1980-1983, he moved to the Naval Air Systems Command at China Lake, California, where he is now a Senior Scientist and Esteemed Fellow.  While teaching analytical chemistry at Davis, he wrote his lectures in bound form for his students.  This volume caught the attention of publishers representatives wandering through the college bookstore.  The first edition of Quantitative Chemical Analysis was published in 1982.  The first edition of Exploring Chemical Analysis came out in 1996.  Both have undergone regular revision.  Dan is also co-author of Symmetry and Spectroscopy published in 1978 by Oxford University Press and now available from Dover Press.  His book Materials for Infrared Windows and Domes was published by SPIE press in 1999.  Dan and his wife Sally were married in 1970.  They have two children and four grandchildren.  Sallys work on every edition of the books is essential to their quality and accuracy.

    Charles A. Lucy

    Chuck Lucy is Professor Emeritus and 3M National Teaching Fellow at the University of Alberta. He has published over 160 papers (26 with undergraduate researchers) and been on the editorial advisory boards of seven analytical journals, including Analytical Chemistry and Analyst. He is a passionate teacher who has taught classes ranging from large first-year courses to discovery-based graduate lectures. Chuck has organized teaching workshops and chemistry education symposia across North America and has received numerous awards, including the Chemical Institute of Canada Award for Chemistry Education and the American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry’s J. Calvin Giddings Award for Excellence in Education. After contributing content to several chapters in the ninth edition of Quantitative Chemical Analysis, Chuck has broad responsibilities as a co-author of this tenth edition. The statistics, spectrophotometry, and chromatography chapters have benefited most from Chuck’s authorship. He highlights contributions of undergraduate student researchers and his new end-of-chapter problems emphasize graphical examination of data. Many of his problems incorporate primary sources and research publications, or make use of online tools such as a chromatography simulator with which you can observe the effects of varying experimental conditions.

Product Updates

Quantitative Chemical Analysis is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning platform. Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for chemistry students.  Achieve includes an interactive e-Book as well as our renowned assessments. Students will be able to focus their study with adaptive quizzing and gain a better understanding of what is happening at the atomic or molecular level through videos of instrumentation techniques.  Instructors can assign or download instructor resources and take advantage of powerful analytics and quick insights to inform teaching.

NEW TO THIS EDITION
The new tenth edition of Harris, Quantitative Chemical Analysis includes:

  • Achieve combines acclaimed automatically graded online homework with a powerful e-book and an extensive suite of engaging multimedia learning resources. Problems feature hints for when students get stuck, answer-specific feedback to help them learn from their mistakes, and solutions to reinforce what they’ve learned.
  • Achieve platform with VitalSource e-Book, multimedia assets and study tools as well as powerful insights and analytics.
  • LearningCurve: Putting “testing to learn” into action, LearningCurve is the perfect tool to get students to engage before class, and review after. With game-like quizzing, it creates individualized activities for each student, selecting questions—by difficulty and topic—according to their performance.
  • Practice/homework problems featuring hints, targeted feedback and detailed solutions
  • Video Procedures: Animations that demonstrate what is happening at the atomic or molecular level in several different instrumental techniques. There are also several videos that demonstrate what the instrumentation and parts look like in an actual lab setting.
  • In-Class Worksheets provide problems and solutions appropriate for group work in class. The worksheets provide a set of questions covering the major topics in a chapter.  For use in the classroom to help facilitate active learning or used as additional practice for students after class.

The 10th edition introduces a new co-author:
Charles Lucy brings subject and classroom expertise to the 10th edition of Harris QCA. The spectrophotometry, spectroscopy, and spectrometry chapters have benefited most from Chuck’s authorship.  Contributions of undergraduate student researchers and his new end-of-chapter problems emphasize graphical examination of data.  Many of his problems incorporate primary sources and research publications, or make use of online tools such as a chromatography simulator with which you can observe the effects of varying experimental conditions.


Important text updates

  • Revised chromatography and electrophoresis chapters written by new co-author Charles Lucy.
  • Up-to-date foundational SI units. Analytical chemistry is a branch of the science of metrology, whose foundational SI units were overhauled in 2019. Table 1-1 introduces the new units.  Regulatory agencies are introduced in Table 5-2, and examples of standard methods for water analysis are provided in Table 19-1.
  • New Color Plates to this 10th edition include; 14, 16, 25, 26, 29, 31, and 36.
  • New examples and applications A field-effect transistor “electronic nose,” a carbon fiber/carbon nanotube/platinum nanocrystalline electrode to measure O2 in brain cells; the electrochemical critical care analyzer used in hospitals; green fluorescent protein used in biological research; a nanopore device for sequencing nucleotide bases in DNA; and isotopically labeled mass tags to quantify proteins in biological research.  For mass spectrometry, Figure 22-47 introduces matrix-assisted ionization and Figures 22-52 and 22-53 show state-of-the-art implementations of traveling wave ion mobility separation coupled to mass spectrometry.
  • Updates to Spectrometry Chapters. Particular attention was paid to including state- of -the- art methods and techniques critical to this field. New material includes matrix-assisted ionization (Chapter 22), traveling wave ion mobility separation coupled to mass spectrometry (Chapter 22), how to select an appropriate atomic spectrometry technique for different problems (Chapter 21), and classification of solvents based on their environmental impact (Chapter 23).
  • New Methods of Biochemical Analysis. Applications to biology and medicine continue to be a highlight of the text. Examples include: derivatization (Table 19-2), fluorescent proteins (Chapter 19 opener and Figure 19-19), cell density by optical scattering (Problem 19-17), immunodepletion (Section 26-4) and microwell plates (Figure 19-11).
  • New Problems to Reinforce Graphing Skills. Along with updates to content, there are many new problems, particularly those that reinforce graphing and inspection of data. For example, problems 5-17, 5-29 (Gothan crime lab), 5-31, 18-21 (DNA concentration), 18-27, 20-14, 20-28, 20-37 (reading a log-log plot), 21-23, 21-24, 23-57).
