Introduction Flashcards
It is a measurement science consisting of a set of powerful ideas and methods that are useful in all fields of science and medicine
Analytical Chemistry
Reveals the identity of elements and compounds in a sample
Qualitative
Indicates the amount of each substance in a sample
Quantitative
Components of a sample that are to be determined
Analytes
Results of a typical quantitative analysis are computed from two measurements:
- Mass or the volume
2. Quantity that is proportional
These are Quantity that is proportional
Mass, volume, intensity of light, electrical charge
Analytical method according to mass of the analyte or some compound chemically related to it
Gravimetric
Analytical method according to the nature of the volume of a solution containing suffcient reagent to react completely with the analyte
Volumetric Method
Analytical method which invloves electrical properties such as voltage, current, resistance and quantity of electrical charge
Electroanalytical methods
Analytical method that is based
Measurement of the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and analyte atoms
Spectroscopc Method
In the flow diagram showing the steps in a quantitative analysis:
What happens when the sample is soluble?
Proceed to the question: is it measurable property
In the flow diagram showing the steps in a quantitative analysis:
What should you do if the property of sample is measurable?
Eliminate interferences
In the flow diagram showing the steps in a quantitative analysis:
What should you do if the sample is not soluble ?
Carry out chemical dissolution
In the flow diagram showing the steps in a quantitative analysis:
What should you do after you carry out chemical dissolution?
Know whether is it a measurable property
In the flow diagram showing the steps in a quantitative analysis:
What should you do if the property of sample is not measurable?
Change the chemical form then eliminate the interferences
These are the first 3 steps in the flow diagram showing the steps in a quantitative analysis
Select method
Acquire sample
Process sample
It is the first question to be considered in the selection process of picking a method
Level of accuracy is required
In picking a method, It is the second consideration related to economic factors.
Number of samples to be analyzed
It influences the choice of method to some degree in picking a method
Complexity of the sample and the number of components in the sample
It invloves obtaining a small mass of material whose composition accurately represents the bulk of the material being sampled
Sampling
The most difficult step in an analysis and it is the source of greatest error
Sampling
A material is known as _________ if its constituent parts can be distinguished visually or the aid of a microscope
Heterogenous
It is the process of determining how much of a given sample is the material indicated by its name
Assay
We analyze________ and we determine _____________
Sample and substances
No sample processing is required prior to the ______________ step
Measurement
We must process the sample in _______________ ways
Variety of different
