Anachem W1 Flashcards
Types of Samples
Qualitative and Quantitative
Determination of identity of the chemical species.
Qualitative
Determination of the relative amount of the chemical species in each sample.
Quantitative
Four scales of Operations
MACRO ANALYSIS
SEMIMICRO ANALYSIS
MICRO ANALYSIS
ULTRAMICRO ANALYSIS
the object of the analytical procedure (ex. A blood sample)
sample
the substance that is of interest in the analysis (ex. Amount of hemoglobin in the blood)
Analyte
the constituents, apart from the analyte, of the given sample (ex. All the constituents of blood except hemoglobin)
Matrix
Amount of analyte is more than 0.10 grams (100 mg)
MACRO ANALYSIS
MACRO ANALYSIS

Considered as absent
ULTRAMICRO ANALYSIS
The _______ of reagents has an important bearing on the accuracy attained in any analysis.
purity
Confirms to the minimum standards set forth by the Reagent Chemical Committee of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
REAGENT GRADE
The highest quality commercially available for this chemical.
REAGENT GRADE
Chemicals with extraordinary purity prepared by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
PRIMARY-STANDARD GRADE
a reagent that is very pure
Highest purity
PRIMARY-STANDARD GRADE
Chemicals prepared for a particular or specific application.
SPECIAL-PURPOSE GRADE
Ex. RTPCR
SPECIAL-PURPOSE GRADE
Included among these are solvents for spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography.
