Analytical chemistry
What is analytical chemistry?
Analytical Chemistry: The science seeks ever
improved means of measuring the chemical composition of
natural and artificial( )االصطناعيةmaterials by using techniques to
identify the substances which may be present in a material and
to determine the exact amounts of the identified substance.
Analytical chemistry involves the analysis of matter to
determine its composition and the quantity of each kind of
matter that is present. nalytical chemists detect traces of toxic
chemicals in water andA air. They also develop methods to
analyze human body fluids for drugs, poisons, and levels of
medication.
1
Analytical chemistry consists of:
2
(2) Gravimetric analysis: usually involves the selective
separation of the analyte by precipitation, followed by the very
non-selective measurement of mass (of the precipitate).
(3) Instrumental analysis: They are based on the measurement
of a physical property of the sample, for example, an electrical
property or the absorption of electromagnetic radiation.
Examples
spectrophotometry (ultraviolet, visible, or infrared), fluorimetry,
atomic spectroscopy (absorption, emission), mass
spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR),
X-ray
spectroscopy (absorption, fluorescence).
someTerms
Solution: Homogeneous mixture of two or more substance
produce from dissolved (disappeared) solute particle (ions,
atoms, molecules) (lesser amount) between solvent particle
(larger amount).
3
Analyte
Constituent of the sample which is to be studied by quantitative
measurements or identified
qualitatively.
Blank
A blank solution is a solution that does not contain the analyte
of interest. This is used to calibrate instruments. For instance, in
spectroscopy, the absorption of the blank solution is first
4
analyzed in order to correct the absorptions other than that of
the analyte of interes
Reagent
A chemical used to produce a specified reaction in relation to an
analytical procedure.
Standard
A pure substance which reacts in a quantitative and known
stoichiometric manner with the analyte or a reagent.
Standardization
Determination of the concentration of an analyte or reagent
solution from its reaction with a standard or primary standard.
Primary Standard
A substance whose purity and stability are particularly well A
substance whose purity and stability are particularly well
established and with which other standards may be compared
and with which other standards may be compared.
Procedure
A description of the practical steps involved in an analysis.
Sample
A substance or portion of a substance about which analytical
information is required.
5
Titration
The overall procedure for the determination of the
stoichiometric or equivalence point.
End Point
A point in the progress of the reaction which may be precisely
located and which can be related to the
stoichiometric or equivalence point of the reaction; ideally, the
two should be coincident.
Indicator
A reagent or device used to indicate when the end point has
been reached.
Concentration
The amount of a substance present in a given mass or volume of
another substance.
The abbreviations w/w, w/v and v/v are sometimes used to
indicate whether the concentration is based on the:
weights or volumes of the two substances.
6
Gram molecular weight (gMw some times M.wt): Defined as
the sum of the atomic weight of the atoms that make up a
molecular compound.
Gram formula weight (gFw some time F.wt): The sum of the
atomic weight of the atoms that make up an ionic formula.

(ferric oxide). M.wt Fe2O3=159.7mg|mmol
