Questions and Answers

What is the main focus of Analytical Chemistry?

  • Chemical characterization of matter (correct)
  • Separating components in a sample
  • Identifying elements only
  • Determining the amount of a particular substance only

    • Which statement best describes Qualitative Analysis?

  • Dealing with what elements or compounds are present in a sample
  • Revealing the chemical identity of a species in the sample (correct)
  • Establishing the relative amounts of species in a sample
  • Determining the amount of a particular substance in a sample

    • What is the relationship between Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis?

  • Quantitative Analysis is independent of Qualitative Analysis
  • Qualitative information is required before Quantitative Analysis can be undertaken (correct)
  • Quantitative Analysis is more important than Qualitative Analysis
  • Qualitative Analysis is not necessary for accurate Quantitative Analysis
