Introduction To Analytical Chemistry

This document provides an introduction to analytical chemistry. It defines analytical chemistry as the resolution of chemical compounds into their components to determine elements or foreign substances. It discusses that analytical chemistry involves qualitative analysis, which determines unknown components, and quantitative analysis, which determines the quantity of components. It also outlines several applications of analytical chemistry, including fundamental research, product development, quality control, pollution monitoring, medical studies, and food analysis. Finally, it discusses analytical techniques and the general process for solving analytical problems.
