[1] Intro to AnaChem

Question 1

component/s of a sample to be determined

Answer 1

analyte

Question 2

deals w/ the qualittative and quantitative characterization of composition of matter; not a separate branch of chemistry, but rather its application

Answer 2

analytical chemistry

Question 3

Given a sample, what questions do AnaChem answer?

Answer 3

what is contained and how much of it is contained

Question 4

two types of analysis

Answer 4

qualitative and quantitative analysis

Question 5

answers what constituents are present in a sample; more rapid and less expensive

Answer 5

qualitative analysis

Question 6

What terms are critical to distinguish in qualitative analysis?

Answer 6

selective and specific

Question 7

may occur with other substances but a degree of preference may be present for the substance of interest

Answer 7

selective test (qualitative analysis)

Question 8

only occurs with the substance of interest

Answer 8

specific test (qualitative analysis)

Question 9

answers how much of the constituents are present; may be performed by chemical reactions and use of instruments

Answer 9

quantitative analysis

Question 10

amounts obtained in quantitative analysis

Answer 10

absolute amount and relative amount

Question 11

based on the evaluation of the concentration with the use of physical constants and/or universal quantities only

Answer 11

absolute method

e.g., gravimetry

Question 12

involves indirect calibration; relationship between the analytical concentration and analytical response is established

Answer 12

relative method (quantitative analysis)

e.g., spectroscopy
