Qualitative Analysis

Home > Chemistry > Analytical Chemistry > Qualitative Analysis

Identification of the type of ions or compounds present in a sample.

Types of qualitative analysis: This topic covers the different methods used for qualitative analysis, such as inorganic, organic, and instrumental methods.
Chemical equations and reactivity: This topic focuses on understanding chemical reactions and equilibria, including acid-base reactions, redox reactions, and complexation reactions.
Chromatography: This topic covers the different types of chromatography methods used for qualitative analysis, including gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and ion exchange chromatography.
Spectroscopy: This topic covers the different spectrometry methods used for qualitative analysis, including UV-vis, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Separation techniques: This topic covers different separation techniques, such as extraction, distillation, and crystallization, which are useful for isolating and identifying chemical compounds.
Chemical identification tests: This topic covers the use of chemical tests, such as flame tests, precipitation tests, and spot tests, for identifying specific chemical compounds.
Laboratory safety and equipment: This topic covers the proper handling and storage of chemicals, as well as the use of laboratory equipment such as pipettes, burettes, and balance scales.
Quality Control: Quality control is an important topic in qualitative analysis since it helps to ensure that the correct results are obtained. This topic covers the different quality control measures that are employed in qualitative analysis.
Quantitative analysis: While qualitative analysis is focused on identifying compounds, quantitative analysis is focused on determining the amount of a particular compound in a sample. This topic covers the different methods used for quantitative analysis, such as titration and gravimetric analysis.
Data analysis: This topic covers the different methods used for data analysis, such as statistical analysis and data visualization. It also covers the interpretation of results and the conclusions that can be drawn from the data.
Chromatography: Separation of components of a mixture based on their selective distribution between a stationary phase and a mobile phase.
Spectroscopy: Measurement of the interaction of matter with electromagnetic radiation.
Mass spectrometry: Determination of the mass-to-charge ratio of ions in a sample.
X-ray crystallography: Determination of the structure of crystals by analyzing the patterns of diffraction of X-rays.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy: Analysis of the magnetic interactions between atomic nuclei in a magnetic field.
Infrared spectroscopy: Analysis of the absorption or transmission of infrared radiation by a sample.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC): Measurement of the heat absorbed or released by a sample as it undergoes thermal transitions.
Elemental analysis: Determination of the elemental composition of a sample.
Extraction: Separation of a specific compound or group of compounds from a mixture based on their solubility in different solvents.
