You will come across numerous examples of qualitative and quantitative methods in this text, most of which are routine examples of chemical analysis. It is important to remember, however, that nonroutine problems prompted analytical chemists to develop these methods. Whenever possible, we will try to place these methods in their appropriate historical context. In addition, examples of current research problems in analytical chemistry are scattered throughout the text. 

The applications of Beer s law for the quantitative analysis of samples in environmental chemistry, clinical chemistry, industrial chemistry and forensic chemistry are numerous. Examples from each of these fields follow. 

There are numerous examples of successful application of the developed procedures using native and immobilized enzymes in analysis of environmental (waters and soils of different types, air) and biological (blood semm, urine) samples. 

Buffer solutions find many applications in quantitative analysis, e.g. many precipitations are quantitative only under carefully controlled conditions of pH, as are also many compleximetric titrations numerous examples of their use will be found throughout the book. 

The chief problem in studying the chemical nature of AB cements is that many are essentially amorphous, so that the powerful tool of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis cannot be used. Some AB cements do exhibit a degree of crystallinity, but rarely in significant amounts indeed, complete crystallinity is usually a sign that the reaction product is not cementitious. The literature contains numerous examples of workers being misled by the results of XRD analysis into neglecting the presence and significance of the amorphous phase. 

Methods of data analysis for reactions in solids are somewhat different from those used in other types of kinetic studies. Therefore, the analysis of data for an Avrami type rate law will be illustrated by an numerical example. The data to be used are shown in Table 8.1, and they consist of (a,t) pairs that were calculated assuming the A3 rate law and k = 0.025 min-1. 

The constrained least-square method is developed in Section 5.3 and a numerical example treated in detail. Efficient specific algorithms taking errors into account have been developed by Provost and Allegre (1979). Literature abounds in alternative methods. Wright and Doherty (1970) use linear programming methods that are fast and offer an easy implementation of linear constraints but the structure of the data is not easily perceived and error assessment inefficiently handled. Principal component analysis (Section 4.4) is more efficient when the end-members are unknown. 

To begin the analysis, Marx s numerical example of expanded reproduction can be recast as an input-output framework. Table 2.4(a) re-expresses the numerical elements of Table 2.2 as an input-output table. The advantage of this table is that it shows explicitly how Marx assumes capitalists spend their 1,750 units of surplus value on 500 units of new constant capital (dC), 150 new variable capital (clV) and 1,100 capitalist consumption (u). 

A first step in the analysis is to show explicitly how the elements of surplus value are allocated. Marx s numerical example of expanded reproduction (Table 2.2) can be explored in more detail by distinguishing, for each sector i, between capitalist consumption (uj, incremental changes in constant capital (cfQ and changes in variable capital (eft)). Numerical values for these terms are displayed in Table 3.1. In Department 1, for example, one half of the extracted surplus value of 1,000 is invested in the expansion of capital, with 400 directed to new constant capital and 100 to new variable capital. The remaining 500 units of surplus value are consumed by Department 1 capitalists. 

Numerous examples of applications of nonlinear least squares to kinetic-data analysis have been presented (K7, K8, L3, L4, M7, P2) an exhaustive tabulation of references would, at this point, approach 100 entries. Typical results of a nonlinear estimation and comparison to linear estimates are shown in Table I and discussed in Section III,A,2. Many estimation problems exist, however, as typified in part by Fig. 7. This is the sum-of-squares surface obtained at fixed values of Ks and Ku in the rate equation used for the catalytic hydrogenation of mixed isooctenes (M7)... 

In the third chapter, Hans Hirschmann and Kenneth R. Hanson provide a detailed analysis of the principles of stereochemical classification or factorization. In contrast to the system earlier proposed by Cahn, Ingold, and Prelog (and recently extended and modified by Prelog and Helmchen) featuring centers, axes, and planes of chirality, Hirschmann and Hanson here present an alternative scheme not limited to chiral structures. This scheme for the factorization of stereoisomerism uses as principal elements the center and line of stereoisomerism. Numerous examples are given. 

For large molecules it is no longer feasible to carry out the complete anharmonic vibrational analysis implied by Equation 12.16. One is forced to the approximate relation, Equation 12.17, which seems to work pretty well in spite of the criticisms discussed above. Numerous examples abound in the literature. The interested student is referred to the review of Hansen. 

CE has been touted as a replacement for HPLC in the pharmaceutical industry. This was a shame, since the techniques are so different. For many measurements, it is an orthogonal technique to HPLC. Whereas HPLC separates based on interaction with the stationary phase, CE separates based on the ratio of charge to mass. There are numerous examples of where CE exceeds the resolving power of HPLC (e.g., ion analysis, chiral analysis, DNA quantification, separation, large molecule analysis, etc.). 

A numerical example is given in the following to illustrate the cycle analysis of the combined cycle. 

Probability bounds analysis combines p-boxes together in mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This is an alternative to what is usually done with Monte Carlo simulations, which usually evaluate a risk expression in one fell swoop in each iteration. In probability bounds analysis, a complex calculation is decomposed into its constituent arithmetic operations, which are computed separately to build up the final answer. The actual calculations needed to effect these operations with p-boxes are straightforward and elementary. This is not to say, however, that they are the kinds of calculations one would want to do by hand. In aggregate, they will often be cumbersome and should generally be done on computer. But it may be helpful to the reader to step through a numerical example just to see the nature of the calculation. 

Hence, many variables must be considered when optimizing a separation with respect to analysis time and resolution of enantioseparations. A natural extension was to develop computer programs to assess these variables and optimize the process automatically, and some general examples have been reported84,86. Numerous examples in addition to those in Table 2 of...
