ANALYTICAL

CHEMISTRY
(Chem 105)

INTRODUCTION
DEFINITIONS
Analytical Chemistry – branch of
chemistry involved with the
characterization of matter. A
chemical characterization
consists of all the methods,
measurement and techniques
which are employed to gain
information about the structure
and composition of matter.
DEFINITIONS
Qualitative Analysis – involves
detection or identification of the
constituents which comprise the
sample being analyzed.
It answers the question: “What
is the sample made of?”
Results are expressed in words,
names or symbols of particular
chemical species.
DEFINITIONS
Quantitative Analysis – determines
the absolute or relative amounts of
one or more of the constituents.
It answers the Question: “How
much of a particular constituent is
present?”
Results are expressed in terms of
numbers and units.
THE ANALYTICAL
METHODS
I. CLASSICAL METHODS
1.1 Gravimetry - involves
isolation and/or conversion of
a sought-for substance into
pure form that can be
weighed directly or indirectly.
Examples: Volatilization
Methods; Extraction
Methods; Precipitation
Methods
I. CLASSICAL METHODS
1.2 Volumetry - employs direct or
indirect measurement of volume.
Examples:
 Neutralization Methods
(Acidimetry and Alkalimetry)
 Oxidation-Reduction Methods
Oxidimetry (Permanganimetry,

Iodimetry, Dichromate, Ceric, etc)


Reductimetry (Iodometry, Iron (II),

Chromium (II) method, etc.)


II. Instrumental or Modern
Method – uses instrument as
principal measuring device
other than those employed in
conventional gravimetric or
volumetric analyses.
Types of Instrumental Methods
1. Electrochemical Method –
involves measurement of
current, potential or
conductivity accompanying
chemical reactions.
Examples: Voltammetry;
Polarography; Potentiometry;
Amperometry; Coulometry;
Conductometry; etc.
Types of Instrumental Methods
2.Spectroscopic Method - utilizes
interaction of matter with electromagnetic
radiation by measuring the nature and
degree of absorption or emission of light.
 Examples: Ultraviolet and Visible
Spectroscopy (UV-Vis); Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance(NMR) Spectroscopy; Infrared
and Raman Spectroscopy; Molecular
Fluorescence and Phosphorescence; Flame
Emission; Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
(AAS); X-ray Spectrometry; Mass
Spectrometry, etc.
Types of Instrumental Methods
3. Chromatographic Methods -
involves separation of sample
components.
Examples: Paper and Thin-
Layer Chromatography; High
Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC); Ion
Chromatography (IC); Gas
Chromatography (GC); etc.
Types of Instrumental Methods
4. Thermoanalytical Method -
involves manipulation of
temperature to produce the
measured parameter.\
Examples: Calorimetry;
Thermogravimetry (TG);
Differential Thermal Analysis
(DTA); etc.
Types of Instrumental Methods
5.Coupled Method - combines two
or more instrumental methods to
enhance analytical performance.
Examples: Gas Chromatography
with Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS);
High Performance Liquid
Chromatography with
Electrochemical Detection (HPLC-
EC), etc.
Classification of Analytical Methods
1. According to Sample Size
