Study Notes
Introduction to Analytical Chemistry
- Analytical chemistry is the branch of chemistry dealing with the analysis of different substances
- It involves separating, identifying, and quantifying matter using both classical and modern methods
- It's crucial for characterizing the composition of matter (qualitative and quantitative)
- It aims to improve existing analytical methods and develop new ones for various sample types
- A sample is anything from air and water to living organisms, food, rocks, etc.
- Analytes are the substances within a sample that are analyzed for their concentration
Scope of Analytical Chemistry
- Aims to improve methods for determining the chemical composition of natural and artificial materials
- Involves identifying the substances present and measuring their exact amounts
- Detects traces of toxic chemicals in different environments (e.g., water and air)
Types of Analytical Analysis
-
Qualitative Analysis: Identifies elements, ions, or compounds present in a sample.
-
Quantitative Analysis: Determines the amount of one or more constituents in a sample.
- Volumetric Analysis (Titrimetry): Measures the volume of a solution needed to react completely with the analyte
- Gravimetric Analysis: Determines the mass of the analyte or a related compound
-
Instrumental Analysis: Uses instruments to measure physical/chemical properties related to analyte concentration
- Spectroscopic Methods: Detect interactions between electromagnetic radiation and analytes. (e.g., UV-Vis, IR, NMR)
- Electroanalytical Methods: Measure electrical properties of analytes (e.g., pH measurements, electrodeposition).
-
Separation Techniques: Isolate components from a mixture, often in conjunction with instrumental techniques. (e.g., precipitation, extraction, chromatography)
Classification of Analytical Methods
-
Classical Methods: Older, established techniques, often more straightforward.
- Qualitative: Melting points, color, odor, solubility.
- Quantitative: Gravimetry, volumetric analysis
-
Modern Methods: Newer, often more sensitive, techniques that utilize instrumental analysis.
- Qualitative: Electrophoresis, spectroscopic techniques.
- Quantitative: Spectroscopic techniques, chromatography
Modern Analytical Chemistry
- Dominated by instrumental analysis
- Many different types of instruments
- Can be confusing
- Analytical chemists often focus on a single type of instrument or a specific application
- Advances in computer and camera technology support further development in the analytical science field
Titration
- Analyzes the amount of a substance by gradually adding a solution of known concentration
- Relies on an indicator to signal the endpoint of the reaction
Gravimetry
- Directly weighs the substance to find the amount
- Can also use chemical changes for quantitative measurement in some cases
Spectroscopy
- Measures interactions between molecules and electromagnetic radiation to determine substance composition.
Mass Spectrometry
- Measures the mass-to-charge ratio of molecules
- Uses various ionization methods
Crystallography
- Analyzes the diffraction patterns of x-rays to determine the chemical structure of materials
Electrochemical Analysis
- Evaluates material interactions with electric fields
Thermal Analysis
- Studies the interaction of materials with heat
Separation Processes
- Used to reduce the complexity of mixtures
Hybrid Techniques
- Combining different analytical techniques. Example: Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
Microscopy
- Visualizes single molecules, cells, and biological tissues
- Examples: optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and scanning probe microscopy
Standard Curve
- A graphical method used to determine the concentration of an unknown sample comparing it to known concentrations
- Used to create a calibration curve
Solutions
- Homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances (solute and solvent)
- Solute: lower amount
- Solvent: higher amount
- Classified as saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated
- Consists of various types of solutions (e.g., gas, liquid, solid solutions)
Stoichiometric Calculations
- Involves calculations using balanced chemical equations' relations between reactants and products
Mole Concept
- Avogadro's number of entities (atoms, molecules, etc.)
- Converts mass to moles to perform other calculations
Molarity
- Concentration of a solution
- Calculated by the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution in liter to express molarity (M)
- Different units of measurement such as millimoles and concentration per milliliter can be used with molarity calculations.
