The book elucidates the principles of analytical methods such as volumetric analysis, gravimetric analysis, statistical methods of analysis, electro-analytical and thermoanalytical techniques. It also presents the basic principles and instrumentation of UV, IR, NMR, mass and ESR spectral methods, accompanied by a discussion on the spectra of a number of molecules, intended to develop the skill of the reader and to interpret the spectra of common organic molecules. This text will benefit those preparing for competitive examinations such as NET, SLET, GATE and the UPSC Civil Services exam.
