Study Notes

Chemical Analysis

  • The main focus of qualitative chemical analysis is to identify the presence or absence of a particular substance in a sample.
  • Quantitative chemical analysis, on the other hand, concerns with the amount of a substance in a sample.

Organic Compounds

  • Organic compounds contain the element carbon in combination with other elements, such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
  • Organic chemists regularly need to identify and determine the structure and properties of these compounds.

Apparatus and Techniques

  • The apparatus used for carbon and hydrogen determination includes a combustion tube, platinum boat, and absorption tube.
  • The platinum boat containing a sample is used to combust the sample in the combustion tube.
  • The absorption tube is used to absorb the carbon dioxide produced during combustion.
  • Lead oxide is used in the apparatus to oxidize the sample.
  • Silver wire is used to remove impurities.
  • The Mariotte bottle ensures a constant pressure of oxygen during combustion.
  • Cupric oxide is used in the oxygen purification unit to purify the oxygen used in combustion.

Analyte and Analytical Methods

  • An analyte is the substance being analyzed in a chemical analysis.
  • The development of modern analytical methods has made classical methods, such as Kjeldahl's method, obsolete.

Calculations

  • The percentage of carbon (% C) in an organic compound is calculated by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide produced during combustion and applying the following formula: % C = (mass of CO2 / mass of sample) x 100.
