Analytical Chemistry Flashcards
Methods of Analyses
Classical Methods
1. Gravimetric Method
2. Volumetric Method
Modern Methods
1. Spectroscopic Method
2. Electroanalytic Method
deals with measurement of the mass of a substance that is chemically related to the analyte
Gravimetric Method
measures the volume of solution necessary to react completely with the analyte
Volumetric Method
measures the electromagnetic radiation produced by the analyte or its interactions with it
Spectroscopic Method
measures the electrical properties of the analyte such as current (A), potential (V), resistance (Ω), and amount of charge (coul)
Electroanalytic Method
Steps on Gravimetric Method
Gravimetric Factor = (MW of analyte / MW of ppt) × (x analyte / y ppt)
%analyte = (m_ppt × GF) / m_sample × 100
[Volumetric Method of Analysis]
solution of known concentration
Standard Solution
[Volumetric Method of Analysis]
process of determining the concentration of an unknown solution
Standardization
[Volumetric Method of Analysis]
a substance of high purity used for standardization
Primary Standard
[Volumetric Method of Analysis]
Characteristics of Good Primary Standard
- high purity and eq. wt.
- stable towards air, high T, humidity
- soluble in water
type of titration
the analyte reacts with the standard solution directly
Direct Titration
type of titration
an excess standard solution is added and the excess is determined by the addition of another standard solution
Back Titration
type of titration.
the analyte is converted to a product chemically related to it and the product of such reaction is titrated with a standard solution
Replacement Titration
type of titration
the analyte is converted to a product chemically related to it and the product of such reaction is titrated with a standard solution
Lewis Acid and Base
Lewis Acid = electron-pair acceptor
Lewis Base = electron-pair donor
Bronsted-Lowry Acid and Base
Bronsted-Lowry Acid = proton donor
Bronsted-Lowry Base = proton acceptor
Arrhenius Acid and Base
Arrhenius Acid = produces H+ in soln
Arrhenius Base = produces OH- in soln
reaction involving formation of ions
Ionization Reaction
Strong Acids (completely ionized in solution)
HI, HCl, HBr
HNO3, HClO4, H2SO4 (1st ion)
Strong Bases (completely ionized in solution)
Group 1A and 2A bases
Weak Acids (partially ionized in solution)
HF, HCN
H2SO3, H3PO4, organic acids
Weak Bases (partially ionized in solution)
ammonia and derivatives
