    Study Notes

    Methods and Tools

    • Simple qualitative analysis can be performed without using expensive and complex tools or reagents.
    • Identification may be based on differences in:
      • Colour
      • Odour
      • Melting point
      • Boiling point
      • Texture
      • Atomic structure
      • Ability to conduct electricity
    • Chemical reagents can be added to the sample to detect and identify the target analyte.
    • The reagents are usually chosen to react selectively with one or a single chemical compound to form the desired product.
    • The resulted product is either a coloured complex or a precipitate.

    Gravimetric Analysis

    • The principles behind gravimetric analysis involve adding an excess of reagent to the aqueous solution containing the analyte, forming a precipitate.
    • The precipitate is then filtered, washed, dried, and weighed.
    • The resulted mass is used to calculate the concentration or amount of the analyte using appropriate stoichiometric ratios.
    • Gravimetric analysis is used for quantitative determination of an analyte based on its mass.

    Volumetric Analysis (Titrimetric Analysis)

    • Volumetric analysis is a method used to determine the concentration of an analyte by reacting it with a reagent of known concentration.
    • The reagent is added gradually or stepwise to the analyte from a burette.
    • The process is called the titration process.
    • A primary standard solution is a highly purified compound that serves as a reference material in all volumetric analyses.
    • Important requirements for a primary standard solution include:
      • High purity
      • Stability towards air
      • Absence of hydrate water
      • Ready availability and inexpensive
      • Reasonable solubility in the titration medium
      • Reasonable large molar mass
    • A secondary standard solution is prepared in the laboratory for a specific analysis and standardized against a primary standard.
    • The key to perform a successful titrimetric analysis is to recognize the equivalence point of the titration.
    • The equivalence point is typically observed as a colour change.
    • If no spontaneous colour change occurs, a small amount of a chemical indicator is added to the analyte before the titration.

    Biological Titration

    • Biological titration involves counting the number of viruses in a specific volume to determine the virus concentration in an assay.
    • Serial dilutions are performed on a sample in a fixed ratio until the last dilution does not give a positive test for the presence of the virus.
    • The value is known as the titer.

    Expressions and Formulas

    • Solution: a homogenous mixture of two or more substances.
    • Formality (F): the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms that make up an ionic formula.
    • Normality (N): the concentration of a solution that produces one equivalent of solute in one liter of solution.
    • Equivalent weight (Eq.wt): the formula weight divided by the number of reacting units.
    • Formula weight (F.wt): the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms that make up a molecule.
    • Eq.wt for acid-base reaction: formula weight divided by the number of H+ or OH-.
    • Eq.wt for oxidation-reduction reaction: formula weight divided by the number of electrons.
