Study Notes
Analytical Chemistry
- Analytical chemistry involves the separation, identification, and quantification of matter.
- It involves the use of classical methods along with modern methods involving the use of scientific instruments.
Branches of Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry: the study of carbon and its compounds, including the study of life and reactions in living organisms.
- Inorganic Chemistry: the study of compounds not covered by organic chemistry, including inorganic compounds, metals, and minerals.
- Analytical Chemistry: the study of the chemistry of matter and the development of tools to measure properties of matter.
- Physical Chemistry: the branch of chemistry that applies physics to the study of chemistry.
- Biochemistry: the study of chemical processes that occur inside living organisms.
Analytical Chemistry Consists Of
- Qualitative analysis: deals with the identification of elements, ions, or compounds present in a sample.
- Quantitative analysis: deals with the determination of the amount of one or more constituents present in a sample.
- Three branches of quantitative analysis:
- Volumetric analysis (Titrimetric analysis): involves the reaction of the analyte with a measured volume of reagent of known concentration.
- Gravimetric analysis: involves the selective separation of the analyte by precipitation, followed by the measurement of mass.
- Instrumental analysis: involves the measurement of a physical property of the sample, such as electrical property or absorption of electromagnetic radiation.
Importance of Analytical Chemistry
- Analytical chemistry plays an important role in many sciences, including biology, medicine, and industry.
- It is used to study living materials, food processing, and diagnosis of diseases.
- It is essential in industrial production to ensure the quality of raw materials, products, and processes.
Applications of Analytical Chemistry
- Determining the shelf life of drugs.
- Testing soil for the presence of minerals and nutrients necessary for plant growth.
- Classifying human blood samples.
Solutions
- A homogenous mixture of two or more substances, where one is the solute and the other is the solvent.
- Classification of solutions:
- Based on the nature of molecules: true solution, suspended solution, and colloidal solution.
- Based on solute concentration: saturated solution, unsaturated solution, and super saturated solution.
- Units of weight and concentration:
- Physical units: gram, milligram, kilogram.
- Chemical units: atomic weight, molecular weight, formula weight, ionic weight, equivalent weight.
Molecular Weight
- Defined as the mass of a given substance divided by the amount of substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
- Calculated from the atomic masses of each nuclide present in the molecule.
- Example calculations: Fe(OH)3.12H2O, hexane (C6H14), and other molecules.
Classification of Solutions Based on Solute Particle Size
- True solution: a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances in which the substance has a particle size less than 1 nm dissolved in the solvent.
- Suspension solution: a heterogeneous mixture which settles on standing and its components can be separated by filtration.
- Colloidal solution: a homogeneous mixture which does not settle nor are its components filterable, with solute particles visible with an electron microscope.
