    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.
