Study Notes
Comparative Analysis of Techniques
- Chromatography and spectroscopy yield more accurate data about the composition of a sample compared to other methods.
Quantitative Analysis
- The primary focus of quantitative analysis in analytical chemistry is to determine the absolute or relative abundance of substances in a sample.
Volumetric Analysis
- Volumetric analysis can be based on acid-base, precipitation, or complexation titration.
Study of Substances
- The study of the absolute or relative abundance of substances in a sample can help in determining the purity of the substance.
Drawbacks of Gravimetric Analysis
- A drawback of gravimetric analysis compared to volumetric analysis is that it requires a large amount of sample.
