Analytical Chemistry Basics

Analytical chemistry is a measurement science useful only in the field of medicine.

Quantitative determination of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood samples is used to diagnose and treat illnesses.

Analytical chemistry is not applied in the industry.

Measuring hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide in automobile exhaust gases has no practical use.

Quantitative measurements of ionized calcium in blood serum do not assist in diagnosing parathyroid disease.

Quantitative determination of nitrogen in foods is not related to establishing their nutritional value.

Analytical chemistry plays a central role in the work of chemists, biochemists, and medicinal chemists.

Gravimetric analysis determines the volume of a solution containing a reagent to react with the analyte.

Wet chemical methods are part of instrumental methods used in analytical chemistry.

Strong electrolytes ionize completely in a solvent, while weak electrolytes only partially ionize.

Water is not widely used as a medium for chemical analyses due to its toxicity.

A solution of a weak electrolyte conducts electricity better than a solution containing an equal concentration of a strong electrolyte.
