Study Notes
Chemical Analysis
- Determination of substance's identity or amount
- Steps:
- Collecting samples
- Treating the sample
- Performing measurements
- Mathematical calculations
- Reporting results
- Classification:
- Qualitative: Identifying substances
- Quantitative: Determining amount/concentration
- Destructive: Changes sample composition
- Non-destructive: Doesn't change composition
- Instrumental: Uses analytical instruments to measure sample properties
- Classical: Uses common lab equipment (depends on chemical reactions)
Instrumental Analysis
- Divided into categories based on measured property
- Spectral: Measures radiation absorption, emission, or scattering
- Electroanalytical: Applies electric signals to monitor sample solution's electrical properties (amperometry, voltammetry, potentiometry, conductimetry, coulometry, electrogravimetry)
- Separative: Separates mixtures based on physical and chemical properties (chromatography, electrophoresis)
Classical Analysis
- Volumetric analysis: Quantitative method for determining analyte concentration in a solution
- Titrant: Reagent added to a solution containing the analyte (known concentration)
- Titrate: Unknown solution or analyte (known volume) + indicator
- End point (N1V1 = N2V2): Calculate titrant volume and analyte concentration
- Gravimetric analysis: Based on measuring the weight of a pure compound related to analyte
- Precipitation gravimetry
- Volatilization gravimetry
- Electrogravimetry
- Thermogravimetry
Quantitative Organic Micro Analysis
- Determining percentages of elements in a new compound
- Verifying proposed molecular formula
- Determining purity of organic compounds
- Methods:
- Classical (chemical reactions)
- Instrumental (element analyzer)
Element Analyzer
- Instruments to determine element concentration & percentage in a compound
- Often use oxidative combustion methods
- Sample converted to oxidation products by decomposition or vaporization and oxidation
Accuracy and Precision
- Accuracy: Closeness of measurement to the true value
- Precision: Closeness of multiple measurements to each other
Determination Method Quantification of C,H
- Single-point calibration method: Compares signal of unknown with known standard
- Multiple-point calibration method: Uses signals from multiple standards to create a curve.
Element Analyzer Types (C, H, N....)
- C/H analyzer (Dumas & Pregl): Sample combustion in O2, CO2 & H2O measured
- C/H/N analyzer (Simon): Measures C,H,N by using reagents to remove interferences (Halogens, S, P)
Total Analyzers (N, S, C, H)
- Methods for determining the total amount of nitrogen, or sulfur, or carbon and hydrogen in organic or inorganic samples
- General procedure using thermal conductivity detectors and specialized detectors using chemiluminescence
- Different chemical methods may be used based on the analyzer types or compounds.
Total Carbon Analyzers

- Using optical cells made of silica
- Uses a mercury discharge lamp for measurement
Kjeldahl Method
- Measures nitrogen content in organic products
- Digestion process involves boiling concentrated sulfuric acid and other chemicals in a sample solution
- Distillation process converts ammonia into ammonium in a separate solution
- Titration measures the amount of ammonia.
- Calculation of nitrogen percentage
Oxygen Flask Method
