Chapter 8 Flashcards
It is the science of obtaining processing, and communicating information about the composition and structure of matter
Analytical chemistry
It is a measurement, science consisting of a set of powerful ideas and methods that are useful in all fields of science and engineering
Analytical chemistry
It is the art and science of determining what matter is and how much of the exists
Analytical chemistry
Give at least one definition of analytical chemistry
- The science of obtaining processing and communicating information about the composition and structure of matter
- The art and science of determining what matter is and how much of it exists
- The measurement science consisting of a set of powerful ideas and methods that are useful in all fields of science and engineering
- Suga It requires both qualitative and quantitative information in analysis
What are the roles of analytical chemistry?
It is applied throughout industry, medicine, and all the sciences
Used in laboratories to gather quantitative information
If an analysis more likely reveals the identity of elements and compounds in a sample, what type of analysis is it?
Qualitative analysis
If an analysis more likely indicates the amount of each substance in a sample what analysis is it?
Quantitative analysis
What was the qualitative of a quantitative given example using the metal ions and their emission of light?
Explain the mechanics of this.
Quantitative -> specific wavelength that can be converted into numeric values
Qualitative -> colors that is being emitted when the particle is in certain values
- Ionic solids can produce different colored flames, due to the presence of metal ions in their composition
- When metal ions are heated it can become excited and emit light of specific wavelength
Explain the mechanism of iodine test for starch.
What was the quantitative analysis?
What was the qualitative analysis?
Quantitative -> concentration of the starch
Starch
- carbohydrate molecule found in food like bread
- its molecule is long and coiled
- iodine ends up in the coil which is why it turns from light brown to purple and appears black at high concentration
Qualitative –> color variation that depends on concentrations 1%, 0.1% and 0.01% decreasing 10 times for test tubes.
Describe the characteristics of starch and iodine in iodine test for starch.
Starch
- carbohydrate molecule found in food like bread
- its molecule is long and coiled
- iodine ends up in the coil which is why it turns from light brown to purple and appears black at high concentration
When does the iodine starch test becomes quantitative?
1.) measuring the amount of light that passes through a sample containing the starch iodine complex
2.) Interpreting and converting the amount of light in terms of starch concentration
It is a chemical substance that is the subject of a chemical analysis
Analyte
The result of a typical quantitative analysis are computed from two measurements which are
1.) the mass or the volume of sample to be analyzed
2.) Measurement of some quantity that is proportional to the amount of analyte
How do we classify the analytical method that has been used?
It is classified based on the nature of the final measurement. In example, if the final measurement involves the use of light intensity, the method might be classified as spectrophotometric method.
Depending on what property of the sample is measured in the second step, analytical methods are categorized accordingly. True or false?
True
