Lesson 1 Flashcards
all of the components in the sample containing an analyte.
matrix
sample matrix
portions of a material of approximately the same size that are carried through an analytical procedure at the same time and in the same way.
improves the quality of the results and provides a measure of their reliability.
Replicates
Replicate Samples
various statistical tests are performed on the results to establish their reliability.
Quantitative Measurement
Preparing Solutions for?
Physical and Chemical Changes
causes an error in an analysis by enhancing or attenuating (making smaller) the quantity being measured.
Interference
Liquid samples are subject to
solvent evaporation
to prevent contamination by atmospheric gases.
sealed container
One of the first questions to be considered in the selection process is
level of accuracy required
involves obtaining a small mass of a material
Sampling
most difficult step in an analysis and the source of greatest error
Sampling
constituent parts can be distinguished visually or with the aid of a microscope.
heterogeneous
the process of determining how much of a given sample is the material indicated by its name
assay
We ________ samples and we _______ __________ .
analyze, determined substances
One is the ____ or the _________________ to be analyzed.
mass, volume of sample
second is the measurement of some quantity that is proportional to the amount of analyte in the sample, such as
mass, volume, intensity of light, or electrical charge.
