Review: Instrumental Methods of Chemical Analysis — B.K. Sharma (PDF/Drive edition)

Summary

Strengths

• Curriculum Alignment: The book closely follows the syllabi of major Indian universities, making it a "must-have" for exam preparation.
• Conceptual Clarity: Sharma’s method of explaining the instrumentation diagrams and operational mechanisms is considered student-friendly.
• Reference Material: For researchers, the book provides quick reference tables and standard procedures for analytical techniques.

4.2 Voltammetry / Amperometry

• Principle: current measured while varying electrode potential; peak currents relate to concentration.
• Techniques: cyclic voltammetry, square-wave, differential pulse voltammetry.
• Applications: redox-active species, mechanistic studies, trace analysis (e.g., metal ions).
