Prelim 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
“Analytical Chemistry, or the art of recognizing
different substances and determining their
constituents, takes a prominent position among
the applications of science…”
Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald
are determined in millions of
blood samples every day and used to
diagnose and treat illnesses
concentration of Oxygen and Carbon
Dioxide
present in
automobiles are measured to determine
the effectiveness of smog-control
devices.
quantities of Hydrocarbons, Nitrogen
Oxides, and Carbon Monoxide
in blood serum help diagnose
parathyroid disease in humans
quantitative measurements of ionized
Calcium
indicates the amount of
each substance in a sample
Quantitative analysis
It determines the relative amounts of analytes in
numerical terms
Quantitative Analysis
reveals the identity of the
elements and compounds in a sample
Qualitative Analysis
It establishes the chemical identity of the
species in the sample
Qualitative analysis
Quantitative analysis mentions the analyses in which the amount or concentration of an analyte may be expressed and determined (estimated)
as the numerical value in the given
appropriate units
Qualitative analysis is when the substance is classified or identified based on
physical or chemical properties like solubility, chemical reactivity, molecular weight, melting point, mass spectra, etc.
determine the mass of the analyte or some compound
chemically related to it.
Gravimetric methods
determines the
volume of a solution containing sufficient
reagent to react completely with the
analyte.
Volumetric method
involve the
measurement of such electrical
properties as voltage, current, resistance,
and quantity of electrical charge
Electroanalytical methods
are based on
measurement of the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and analyte
atoms or molecules or on the production
of such radiation by analytes
Spectroscopic methods
