Instrumental methods may be used to separate samples using chromatography, electrophoresis or field flow fractionation. Classical quantitative analysis uses mass or volume changes to quantify the amount. Identification may be based on differences in colour, odour, melting point, boiling point, radioactivity or reactivity. Classical qualitative methods use separations such as precipitation, extraction, and distillation. Qualitative analysis identifies analytes, while quantitative analysis determines the numerical amount or concentration.Īnalytical chemistry consists of classical, wet chemical methods and modern, instrumental methods.
Chemical separation, identification, and quantitative and qualitative analysis are performed using analytical methods and techniques.
basic to advance.Īnalytical Chemistry is the sub-field of chemistry, which explains and explores various instruments and methods used to separate and analyze substances. Welcome! Here you will find Analytical Chemistry Notes and Handouts for different levels i.e.
