    Study Notes

    Course Information

    • Course Name: Analytical Chemistry
    • Chapter: 1 - Nature of Analytical Chemistry

    Outline of Chapter

    • 1.1 - Definition of Analytical Chemistry

    • Analytical chemistry is a measurement science.

    • It's a set of powerful methods useful in science and medicine.

    • It provides quantitative, qualitative, and structural information about the analyte.

    • Analytical chemistry is applied throughout industry, medicine, and all sciences.

    • Applications:

      • Environmental: Measuring pollutants like NOx, SOx, and hydrocarbons in the atmosphere.
      • Medicine: Quantitatively measuring ionized calcium in blood serum helps diagnose parathyroid diseases.
      • Industrial: Analyzing steel during production to adjust element concentrations (carbon, nickel, chromium) for desired strength and properties.

    • 1.2 - Analytical Methods: Classical vs. Instrumental

      • Classical Methods:
        • Inorganic (qualitative) analysis: Using systematic schemes to identify ions/elements.
          • Titrimetry (quantitative): Addition of a reactant to determine equivalence points.
            • Acid-base, redox, and precipitation titrations
            • Complexometric titrations (using colored complexes)
          • Gravimetry (quantitative): Determining material amount by weighing before and after transformation Instrumental Methods:
          • Spectroscopy: Interaction of atoms/molecules with electromagnetic radiation
          • Mass Spectrometry: Mass-to-charge ratio of molecules using electric and magnetic fields.
          • Crystallography: Analyzing diffraction patterns (usually x-rays) of materials to study their atomic structure.
          • Electrochemical Analysis: Interaction of materials with an electric field (e.g., Galvanic cell, Conductivity meter).
          • Thermal Analysis: Calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis measure material interaction with heat.

    • 1.3 - Flow of Quantitative Analysis (Diagram information to be found in reference)

    • 1.4 - Methods for Data Analysis:

      • Important calibration methods:
      • Calibration curve method.
      • Standard addition method.
      • Internal standard method.

    • 1.5 - Calculations in Analytical Chemistry (stoichiometry, concentration, dilution, density, and specific gravity of solutions.

      • Prefixes (yotta, zetta, exa, peta, tera, giga, mega, kilo, hecto, deca, deci, centi, milli, micro etc.) and their corresponding factors are provided in the notes.

    Stoichiometry

    • Calculation of quantities of substances involved in chemical reactions.
    • Balanced chemical equations are essential.
    • Use appropriate mole ratios to relate known and unknown substances.

    Converting Grams to Grams

    • Cannot directly convert between grams of different compounds.
    • Go through moles to obtain the desired conversion.
    • Stoichiometry problems follow a pattern: grams(x) → moles(x) → moles(y) → grams(y)
    • The molar mass is required

    Concentration Scales

    • Molarity (M): Moles of solute per liter of solution (temperature-dependent)

    • Molality (m): Moles of solute per kilogram of solvent (temperature-independent)

    • Weight percent (w/w): Weight of solute per 100 g of solution

    • Volume percent (v/v): Volume of solute per 100 mL of solution

    • Weight/volume percent (w/v): Weight of solute per 100 mL of solution

    • Parts per million (ppm), Parts per billion (ppb), and Parts per trillion(ppt): Specific scales for very low concentrations, denoted as a weight of solute per million, billion, or trillion grams of solution.

    Density and Specific Gravity

    • Density: mass per unit volume (e.g., kg/L or g/mL)
    • Specific Gravity: Ratio of density to the density of an equal volume of water at 4°C (unitless)

    Dilution

    • A technique to decrease the concentration of a solution.
    • M1V1 = M2V2 (Molarity of initial solution x Volume of initial solution = Molarity of final solution x Volume of final solution)
