analytical chemistry
provides methods and tools needed for insight into the material world for answering four basic questions about a material sample
definition of analytical chemistry according to Division of Analytical Chemistry of the American Chemical Society
measure the chemical composition of natural and artificial materials, determine the exact amounts of an identified substance
qualitative analysis
identification of elements, ions, or compounds present in a sample
selective reaction
reaction occur w/ other substances but exhibits degree of preference (for the substance of interest)
what type of technique for extraction?
sample preparation
what type of technique for selective detectors?
instrumentation
specific reaction
reacts with only one substance of interest
quantitative analysis
determination of how much of one or more constituents is present. The sample may be solid, liquid, gas, or a mixture
