Study Notes
Qualitative Analysis
- Qualitative analysis identifies compounds with unknown or partial identity.
- Powerful tools include UV, visible, and infrared spectroscopy.
- Measurements may combine spectroscopic and physical property data (e.g., melting point).
- Spectroscopic measurements alone can also be used.
