Analytical Chemistry Flashcards
most general or top-most; physical/chemical principle
technique
application of technique on specific matrix
method
set of written instruction on application of method for sample
procedure
most specific; set of written guidelines
protocols
purity ≥ 95%
American Chemical Society (ACS)
high purity; dilutions of ACS
Reagent or Analytical Reagent (AR)
meets standard of US Pharmacopeia
USP
meets standard of National Formulary
NF
relatively high quality but unknown levels of impurity; used in general labwork when AR is not required
Laboratory
low grade (purity ≤ 90%); supplied in bulk; for quality testing only
Technical or Commercial
type of gravimetry where thermal or chemical energy is used to remove volatile species
volatilization gravimetry
steps in gravimetry
weigh sample -> sample dissolution -> analyte precipitation -> digestion -> filtration and washing -> drying/ignition -> weigh residue
Which oxides are acidic/basic?
- Metal oxides: basic
- Nonmetal oxides: acidic
acid produces H+ in aqueous solution
Arrhenius acid
base produces OH- in aqueous solution
Arrhenius base
acid is proton donor
Bronsted-Lowry acid
base is proton acceptor
Bronsted-Lowry base
acid is e- pair acceptor
Lewis acid
base is e- pair donor
Lewis base
List the strong bases

List common diprotic acid (and base)
sulfuric and sulfurous acid, carbonic acid, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), oxalic acid (H2C2O4), malonic acid (H2C3H2O4)
Common tripotic acid (and base)
phosphoric acid (H3PO4)
