What is analytical chemistry?
It is the science of obtaining, processing, and communicating
information about the composition and structure of matter.

Like Using mass spectrometry to measure charged


particles to determine the composition of a substance
In analytical chemistry, we often determine the
amount of chemical species from mass
measurements.
For such measurements, kilograms (kg), grams (g),
milligrams (mg), or micrograms (ug) are used.
Volumes of liquids are measured in units of liters
(L), milliliters (mL), or microliters (uL).
The units of volume is liter and it is defined as
exactly 10 m³.
The milliliter is defined as 10- m², 1 cm³ or 10² dL.
What is the scope of analytical chemistry?

Analytical chemistry plays an enormous role in


our society, such as in drug manufacturing,
process control in industry, environmental
monitoring, medical diagnostics, food
production, and forensic surveys.
It is also of great importance in different
research areas
Steps in analytical analysis
1. Define the problem
This means that the analyst should know what is
the information required ,the type and amount
of sample, the precision and accuracy of the
result , the analytical method which can be used
to achieve these results, etc.
• Precision: describes the reproducibility of a
result.
• Accuracy: describes how close a measured
value is to the true value.
2. Obtain a representative sample:

A chemical analysis is usually performed on only


a small portion of the materiel to be
characterized. This portion need to have the
same characteristics of the whole sample in
order to obtain the actual results.
3. Sample preparation:
Most analytical methods requires a liquid form of
the sample rather than solid form. Therefore,
samples need to be dissolved quantitatively and
may also be diluted to the concentration range of
the method if they are present in a high
concentration.
4.Chemical separation:
The sample may contains solutes which interfere
with the determination of the analyte. If this is
the case, the analyte should be separated from
the sample matrix by an acceptable procedure
5. Perform the measurement:
This implies conducting the analytical procedure
and collecting the required data.

6. calculation:
The final step in the analytical process is to
perform the calculation and report the result in
an acceptable manner.
Analytical chemistry can be divided
into two main types:
• Qualitative analysis (identification) : used to
yield information about identity of species or
functional groups of given sample (an analyte
can be identified)
• Quantitative analysis(how much is
present):provides numerical information of
analyte (quantitate the exact amount or
concentration)
Comparison between
quantitative and qualitative
analysis
?
Quantitative analysis can be divided into:

Gravimetric methods (measurement in mass): the mass of


the analyte or some compound chemically related to it is
determined.
 Volumetric methods(measurement in volume) : the volume
of a solution containing sufficient reagent to react
completely with the analyte is measured.
 Electroanalytical methods: electrical properties such as
potential, current ,resistance, and quantity of electrical
charge are measured.
 Spectroscopic methods: the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and analyte atoms or molecules or
the emission of radiation by analytes is explored.
Gravimetric analysis
Methods used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative
determination of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) based on its
mass. The principle of this type of analysis is that once an ion's
mass has been determined as a unique compound, that known
measurement can then be used to determine the same analyte's
mass in a mixture, as long as the relative quantities of the other
constituents are known.
The four main types of this method of analysis are precipitation,
volatilization, electro-analytical and miscellaneous physical
method. The methods involve changing the phase of the analyte
to separate it in its pure form from the original mixture and are
quantitative measurements.
