"Analytical chemistry studies and uses instruments and methods to separate, identify, and quantify matter."
This topic covers the methods used to analyze chemical substances, including chromatography, spectroscopy, and electrochemistry.
Chemical Equilibria: The study of chemical reactions and how they attain a state of equilibrium.
Acid-base chemistry: The study of the properties and reactions of acids and bases.
Quantitative Analysis: The determination of the concentration or amount of a substance in a sample.
Qualitative Analysis: Identification of the type of ions or compounds present in a sample.
Spectroscopy: The measurement of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Chromatography: A separation technique based on the differential distribution of components in a sample between a stationary phase and a mobile phase.
Electrochemistry: The study of the interconversion of chemical and electrical energy.
Mass Spectrometry: A technique to identify and quantify molecules based on their mass-to-charge ratio.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: A technique to study the structure of molecules and the interaction of molecules with their surroundings.
Thermochemistry: The study of the relation between heat and other forms of energy in chemical reactions.
Surface Analysis: The study of the chemical composition and physical properties of surfaces.
Environmental Analysis: The study of chemicals in the environment and their effects on living organisms.
"Analytical chemistry consists of classical, wet chemical methods and modern, instrumental methods."
"Separation isolates analytes."
"Qualitative analysis identifies analytes."
"Quantitative analysis determines the numerical amount or concentration."
"Classical qualitative methods use separations such as precipitation, extraction, and distillation."
"Identification may be based on differences in color, odor, melting point, boiling point, solubility, radioactivity or reactivity."
"Classical quantitative analysis uses mass or volume changes to quantify amount."
"Instrumental methods may be used to separate samples using chromatography, electrophoresis or field flow fractionation."
"Often the same instrument can separate, identify and quantify an analyte."
"Analytical chemistry is also focused on improvements in experimental design, chemometrics, and the creation of new measurement tools."
"Analytical chemistry has broad applications to medicine, science, and engineering."
"Classical, wet chemical methods and modern, instrumental methods."
"Then qualitative and quantitative analysis can be performed, often with the same instrument and may use light interaction, heat interaction, electric fields or magnetic fields."
