Anachem Flashcards
Analysis of a chemical substance
Analytical Chemistry
Determine the identity of species in a sample
Qualitative analysis
Dtermines the amount of species or analytes in numerical terms
Quantitative Analysis
Determination of mass of analyte
Gravimetric method
Determination of volume of a soln containing reagent to react w/ analyte
Volumetric methods
Amphiprotic, undergoes self-ionization or autoprotolysis
Water
Ionizes completely in water
Strong acid and base
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
pH=pKa-log[acid]/[base]
The qty of strong acid or strong base needed to allow 1L of buffer to change a pH to 1
Buffer capacity
[OH-]>[H+]
Basic
This causes water to have slightly acidic pH at room temperature
Carbonic acid
Benzoic acid dissolved in water forms benzoate and hydronium ions. Which is conjugate acid?
Hydronium ions
Buffer capacity is max when
pH = pKa
Determination of nitrogen based on the conversion of organic N to NH3.
Kjeldahl Method
Analyte: Cl,Br, CN
Indicator: Na2CrO4
Brick red precipitate
Mohr method
