Analytical Method Flashcards
4 BASIC DISCIPLINES: ANALYTICAL
CHEMISTRY
Spectrometry = spectrophotometry, atomic absorption, and mass spectrometry
Luminescence = fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and nephelometry
Electroanalytic methods = electrophoresis, potentiometry, and amperometry
Chromatography = gas, liquid, and thin- layer
MEASUREMENTS OF RADIANT ENERGY
+ Emitted
+ Transmitted
+ Absorbed
+ Scattered
+ Reflected
There are two primary considerations in
every colorimetric analysis:
- Quality of the color
- Intensity of the color
COLORIMETRY 2 types
a. Visual Colorimetry
b. Photoelectric Colorimetry -
The primary analytical utility of spectrophotometry or filter
photometry is the isolation of discreet portions
of the spectrum for purposes of measurement.
Photoelectric Colorimetry
2 types: photoelectric measurement
Spectrophotometric measurement
Photometric measurement
light intensity in a narrower wavelength
Spectrophotometric measurement
light intensity at multiple wavelengths.
Photometric measurement
transmitted via electromagnetic waves that
are characterized by their frequency and Wavelength
Energy
distance between two successive
peaks and it is expressed in terms of nanometer (n)
Wavelength
Wavelength of visible spectrum
400-700m
Wavelength of ultraviolet (UV)
<400nm
Wavelength of infrared region (IR)
> 700nm
What is the Planck’s formula:
E = hv
E means
energy of a photon in Joules or constant (6.626
x 10^27 erg sec)
V means
frequency
number of vibrations of
wave motion per second
Frequency
Wave frequency: lower
Wavelength:
Longer
Wave frequency:
Wavelength: shorter
Higher
TYPES OF RADIANT ENERGY
+ Cosmic rays
+ Gamma rays
+ X-rays
+ Visible
+ Ultra-violet (UV)
+ Infrared (IR)
+ Radio, TV, microwave, etc.
measurement of the light transmitted ; determine the concentration
Spectrophotometer
concentration of a substance is directly
proportional to the amount of the light absorbed or inversely proportional
