Introduction to Analytical Chemistry Flashcards
Branch of chemistry dealing with quantitative and qualitative determination for the characterization of matter.
Analytical Chemistry
“Science of chemical measurements”
Analytical Chemistry
It deals with
o Separating,
o Identifying,
o And quantifying the amount(s) of the component(s) of an analyte.
Analytical Chemistry
The component/s of a sample that are to be determined
Analyte
How can the species of interest be separated from the sample matrix for better quantitation and identification?
Separation
Does the sample contain substance A?
Detection
What is the identity of the substance in the sample?
Identification
How much of substance A is in the sample?
Quantitation
Two Types of chemical analysis
Quantitative Analysis & Qualitative Analysis
Deals with the determination of how much
more of one or more constituent is present.
Quantitative Analysis
Deals with the identification of elements, ions, and compounds in a sample.
Qualitative Analysis
Uses chemical analysis and instrumental analysis
Quantitative Analysis
Uses elemental analysis and indentification of sample structure to be analyzed
Qualitative Analysis
Representative of the tested material
Sample
all substances in the sample
Matrix
specific substance we measure
Analyte
- Gathering measurements
- Reporting results
- Posing a question
- Using an appropriate sample
- Sample preparation
Analytical technique
Occurs with other substances but exhibits preferences for the substance of interest
Selective Test/Reaction
