This was first published in 1937 and has since then served chemistry students and professional analytical chemists in their work. Vogel's Qualitative Inorganic Analysis includes many new features as well as details on the preparation of reagents, which are consolidated in the Appendix to assist laboratory staff. All tests are explained by chemical equations and, where necessary, with comments on the equilibrium and kinetics. The detailed descriptions of techniques allows the use of the book outside organised classes.
