Introduction KA-1

Analytical chemistry involves the identification, detection, quantification and separation of substances in samples. It answers key questions about samples including what substance it is, if it contains a particular substance, how much of a substance is present, and how species can be separated. Analytical chemistry uses tools and methods to analyze samples from fields like chemistry, medicine, environmental science and more. It aims to improve reliability of techniques and adapt methods to new materials or questions about composition.

Introduction

of Analytical Chemistry
Chemical Analysis and
Analytical Chemistry

Chemical analysis:
Includes any aspect of the chemical
characterization of a sample material

Analytical Chemistry:
“ Science of chemical measurements”
Area of Chemical Analysis and
The Questions
 Identification
What is the identity of the substance in the sample?
 Detection
Does the sample contains substance X?
 Quantitation
How much of substance X is in the sample?
 Separation
How can the species of interest be separated from the
sample matrix for better quantitation and identification?
What is Analytical Chemistry?
 Analytical chemistry provides the methods and the tools
needed for insight into our material world for answering
four questions about material sample:
1. What?
2. Where?
3. How much?
4. What arrangement, structure or form?
(Fresenius’ J. Anal. Chem. 343 (1992) 812 - 813
The Role of Analytical Chemistry
 Analytical chemists work to improve the reliability of
existing techniques to meet the demands for better
chemical measurements which arise constantly in our
society
 They adapt proven methodologies to new kinds of
materials or to answer new questions about their
composition
 They carry out research to discover completely new
principles of measurements and are at the forefront of the
utilization of major discoveries such as lasers and
microchip devices for practical purposes.
Analytical Chemistry Applied to:
 Chemistry
 Medicine (hospital)
 Oceanography
 Forensic Science
 Farming
 Environmental Science
 Biology
 Geology (geological survey)
 Material Science
 Archeology
 Food Science
History of Analytical Methods
 Classical methods:
early years (separation of analytes) via precipitation,
extraction or distillation
 Qualitative:
recognized by color, boiling point, solubility, taste
 Quantitative:
gravimetric or titrimetric measurements
 Instrumental methods:
newer, faster, more efficient
 Physical properties of analytes:
conductivity, electrode potential, light emission absorption,
mass to charge ratio and fluorescence, many more..
Analyte
 What is it (chemical analysis) Qualitative analysis
 How much is it present? Quantitative analysis

Development of new product?


 Want to know composition of mixtures
 or giving possibilities of impurities

Analyte
the species being measured in chemical analysis (chemical
substance)
