Study Notes
Analytical Chemistry
- Analytical chemistry is the study of the separation, identification, and quantification of the chemical components of natural and artificial materials.
- Analytical chemistry is focused on improvements in experimental design, chemometrics, and the creation of new measurement tools.
- The main goal of analytical chemistry is to provide better chemical information.
Types of Chemical Analysis
- Qualitative analysis determines the identity of the constituent species in a sample.
- Quantitative analysis determines how much of a constituent species is present in a sample.
- Fundamental analysis improves an analytical method's capabilities.
Types of Analytical Methods
-
Classical Methods:
- Also known as “wet chemistry methods”
- Use only chemicals for separations such as precipitation, extraction, and qualitative analysis by color, odor, or melting point.
-
Instrumental Methods:
-
Use an apparatus to measure physical quantities of the analyte such as light absorption, fluorescence, or conductivity.
-
Examples:
- Spectroscopy
- Electrochemistry
- Chromatography
-
Terms in Analytical Chemistry
- Procedure: A set of written directions detailing how to apply a method to a particular sample.
- Analyte: The component of interest in a sample.
- Matrix: All of the components in the sample containing an analyte.
- Interference: Species that causes an error in an analysis by enhancing or attenuating the quantity being measured.
- Constituent: A component of a sample.
- Major constituent: % 1-100
- Minor constituent: % 0.01-1
- Trace constituent: ˂ %0.01
- Technique: A chemical or physical principle that can be used to analyze a sample.
- Method: The application of a technique for the determination of a specific analyte in a specific matrix.
Key Steps in a Typical Quantitative Analysis:
- Select a method: Accuracy, reliability, time and cost, complexity of sample are important factors.
- Sampling: Obtaining a representative sample is crucial, especially for mass products.
- Sample preparation and handling: This involves dissolving and preparing samples to ensure homogeneity.
- Define Replicate sample: Multiple samples are analyzed to determine accuracy, reliability, and cost.
- Eliminating interferences: Blanks and control samples are used to minimize the effect of species other than the analyte.
- Calibration and measurement: Establish the relationship between the measured property and the property of interest.
- Calculation and data reduction: Convert the measured data to the desired unit.
- Evaluating results and estimating reliability: Use statistics to assess the reliability of the results.
