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.
