Study Notes
Introduction to Analytical Chemistry
- Analytical Chemistry involves techniques and laboratory methods to determine matter's composition.
- It is crucial in various industries for quality assurance of raw materials and finished products, particularly in pharmaceuticals.
- The field plays a significant role in medical diagnostics through clinical laboratory tests.
Applications of Analytical Chemistry
- Widely used in testing raw materials and ensuring product quality in industries.
- Essential for clinical diagnostics, helping physicians diagnose diseases.
Common Laboratory Apparatus
- Beaker: Cylindrical container for mixing and heating liquids; available in various sizes.
- Bunsen Burner: Small gas burner for heating and sterilization; adjustable flame.
- Alcohol Lamp: Uses ethyl alcohol for heating and sterilization.
- Evaporating Dish: Used for separation of solute through crystallization.
Measuring Mass
-
Analytical Balance: Highly sensitive instrument to accurately measure mass, with precision up to 1 part in 10^5; capacity ranges from 1 g to several kilograms.
- Microbalance: Maximum load in micrograms with precision of 0.1 mg.
- Semi-Microbalance: Designed for solute concentrations lower than the solubility limit, maximum load with precision of 0.01 mg.
Types of Solutions
- Saturated Solutions: Contain maximum solute that can dissolve at specific conditions; no more solute can be added.
- Supersaturated Solutions: Solute concentration exceeds the maximum solubility at given conditions.
- Concentrated Solutions: High amount of solute dissolved.
- Diluted Solutions: Small amount of solute dissolved.
Expressing Concentrations
-
Percent Concentration:
- Weight/Weight (% w/w), Volume/Volume (% v/v), Weight/Volume (% w/v), Volume/Weight (% v/w).
-
Parts Per Million (ppm) and Parts Per Billion (ppb):
- ppm = (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 10^6.
- ppb = (mass of solute / mass of solution) x 10^9.
- Molarity (M): Number of moles per liter of solution.
- Molality (m): Moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Significant Figures
- Significant figures are meaningful digits that reflect measurement accuracy.
- Rules:
- Non-zero digits are always significant.
- Zeros between non-zero digits are significant.
- Leading zeros are not significant.
- Trailing zeros after a decimal point are significant.
- Calculation rules: Maintain decimal places for addition/subtraction; use least significant figures for multiplication/division.
Accuracy and Precision
- Accuracy: Closeness of measurements to the true value.
- Precision: Closeness of repeated measurements to each other.
- Absolute error (E) indicates the difference between measured and true values.
- Relative error (Er) is the absolute error divided by the true value.
Analytical Techniques and Methods
-
Classical Techniques:
- Titrimetry: Chemical analysis through titration methods.
- Gravimetry: Measurement of mass related to stable compound conversion.
-
Electrochemical Methods:
- Potentiometry: Voltage measurement of electrochemical cells to assess analyte concentration.
Summary of Analytical Chemistry
- Accuracy and precision are vital in analytical chemistry.
- Careful procedure execution is necessary to minimize errors in chemical analyses.
