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
