Study Notes
Definition and Scope
- Analytical chemistry is the study of the separation, identification, and quantification of matter.
- It involves the use of instruments and methods to separate, identify, and quantify matter.
Separation
- Separation is the isolation of analytes from a sample.
- It may be combined with other methods or constitute the entire analysis.
Identification and Quantification
- Qualitative analysis identifies the analytes present in a sample.
- Quantitative analysis determines the numerical amount or concentration of the analytes.
Classical and Instrumental Methods
- Analytical chemistry consists of classical, wet chemical methods and modern, instrumental methods.
- Classical methods use separations such as precipitation, extraction, and distillation for identification.
- Identification in classical methods is based on differences in color, odor, melting point, boiling point, solubility, radioactivity, or reactivity.
- Classical quantitative analysis uses mass or volume changes to quantify the amount.
Instrumental Methods
- Instrumental methods may be used to separate samples.
- These methods provide more accurate and precise results compared to classical methods.
