Introduction To Analytical Chemistry
Introduction To Analytical Chemistry
Volumetric Analysis
It is a measurement science consisting of a set
of powerful ideas and methods that are
useful in all fields of science and medicine.
Qualitative Analysis (identification)
Provides information about the elements
and compounds in a sample.
“Identifying what is in unknown”
Quantitative Analysis
Provides information about the amount of each
substance in a sample .
“Identifying how much is present”

Trace analysis =
1-1000 ppm or
0.0001-0.1 wt.%
Ultra trace analysis
= < 1ppm or
0.0001 wt.%
Macro- = >1mg
Micro- = < 1 mg
The Role of Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry plays a vital role in
the development of science.
Plays a vital role in many research areas
in chemistry, biochemistry, biology,
geology, physics, and the other sciences.
All branches of chemistry draw on the
ideas and techniques of analytical
chemistry.
Where is Analytical Chemistry used?
1- Clinical laboratories.
2- Forensic laboratories.
3-Environmental laboratories.
4- Manufacturing /industry
5- Research.
6- Others.

Sample preparation
1. sample storage(e.g. temperature, moisture)
• Volumetric Methods:
Measure the volume of a solution containing sufficient
reagent to react completely with the analyte.
Quantitative Analytical Methods
Spectroscopic Methods:
measurement based on the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and analytes.
Mass spectrometry
Measure of mass to charge ratio (m/z) of analytes.
Electroanalytical Methods:
measure of electrical properties such as voltage, current,
resistance, and quantity of electrical charge.
Others :
Radioactive decay, heat of reaction, optical activity,
refractive index, rate of reaction
Measurements
SI Units (International System of Units)

Prefixes used with SI Units
Mass /amount of substance
Mass – is the number (amount) of substances
moles (mol); kilogram (kg) gram (g)
solution
Solution : A homogenous
mixture of two or more
substances, the solute and
the solvent.
A solute is what dissolves or
disappears, like salt or sugar. solvent
A solvent is what does the
dissolving.
Examples
• Example: Saltwater
Salt
– What is the solute?______
– What is the solvent?___________
water
• Example – 70% ethanol solution.
Water
– Solute _______________
Ethanol
– Solvent________________
– Why? If 70% is ethanol, then it must be the solvent.
The remaining 30% is water, the solute.
-Solutions can be electrolytes or non- electrolytes.
