Objectives:
What is Analytical Chemistry?
Chemistry
Analytical
The science of the composition,
structure, properties, and reactions of
matter, especially of atomic and
molecular systems.
Of or relating to analysis or
analytics.
Dividing into elemental parts or
basic principles
Is the chemistry that is used in connection with the
separation and analysis of chemical substances.
What is Analytical Chemistry?
Analytical Chemistry provides the methods and tools
needed for insight into our material worldfor answering
four basic questions about a material sample?
What?
Where?
How much?
What arrangement, structure or form?
Science of Chemical Measurements
Classification
Chemical Analysis
(Separation)
Qualitative Analysis
(Identification)
What is present?
Quantitative Analysis
(Quantification)
How much is present?
A qualitative method yields
information about the identity
of atomic or molecular species
or the functional groups in the
sample.
A quantitative method in
contrast, provides numerical
information as to the relative
amount of one or more of
these components.

Category of Analytical Methods
Methods of Analysis
Method in which weight
of substance is measured.

Methods of Analysis
Refers to measurement of a volume.

Methods of Analysis
Methods are based on measurement of some
physical and chemical property, through the use of
instruments.

Steps in Analysis:
An analysis involves
several steps and
operations which
depend on:
the particular
problem
your expertise
the apparatus or
equipment available.
The analyst should be
involved in every step.
