    Study Notes

    Qualitative Analysis

    • Primary goal is to identify the components present in a sample.

    Quantitative Analysis

    • Aims to determine the amount or concentration of a specific component in a sample.

    Overall Purpose of Analytical Chemistry

    • Focuses on the analysis of substances to understand their composition and structure.

    Key Steps in Analytical Chemistry

    • Involves sample collection, preparation, analysis, interpretation, and reporting results.

    Analyte

    • Term used to describe the component being analyzed in a sample.

    Analytical Chemistry Methods

    • Main methods include classical techniques (such as titrations, gravimetric analysis) and modern techniques (like chromatography, spectroscopy).
    • Classical methods are distinct from modern methods and may not include advanced technology.

    First Step in the Analytical Process

    • The initial step involves identifying the problem and determining the objectives of the analysis.

    Chemical Composition Importance

    • Knowledge of chemical composition is crucial for safety, quality control, regulatory compliance in industries, and understanding environmental impacts.

    Remaining Material in Analysis

    • The remaining material where the analyte is present is refer to as the matrix.
