ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
Analytical Chemistry
 Branch of Chemistry that deals with the analysis, identification, separation and
composition of matter
 Involves methods used to identify the substances that are present in a sample
(qualitative analysis) and the exact amount of the identified substances
(quantitative analysis)
Quantitative Methods of Analysis
A
...


Classical methods
a
...
Volumetric method – measurement of the volume of solution necessary to react
completely with the analyte

2
...
Spectroscopic method – measurement of the electromagnetic radiationproduced
by the analyte or its interactions with it
b
...


Other methods – involves the measurement of the properties of the analyte such as
heat of reaction (calorimeter), index of refraction (refractometer), optical activity
(polarimeter) or mass-to-charge ratio (mass spectrometer)

B
...
Selection of an appropriate method
 In the selection of method of analysis, it is necessary to consider the level of
accuracy, complexity and component of the sample, availability of equipment
and trained personnel and the time of analysis
 Standard procedures are usually available from literature such as Chemical
Abstracts, Analytica Chimica Acta, Applied Spectroscopy, Journal of the
Association of Analytical Chemists, etc
...


Obtaining a representative sample
 The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), National Bureau of
Standards (NBS) and Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) are
such a few organizations that impose standard sampling procedures for analysis
of some samples
 Three steps are generally followed in obtaining samples: obtaining a gross
sample, obtaining a laboratory sample and obtaining an analysis sample
 A gross sample is obtained from a bulk sample and obtained in such a manner
that it is considered a representative of the bulk sample
 A laboratory sample is a fraction of the gross sample weighing several grams
wherein further reduction to few milligrams results into an analysis sample

Samples that decompose upon heat treatment are analyzed on a wet basis or asreceived basis
 Replicate samples are taken for analysis to ensure accuracy of the method used
and quality of the results

In many instances, some portion of the sample will
not dissolve in water and usually the addition of acids render the sample
soluble
...

c

For more stubborn samples, hot, concentrated sulfuricacid,
nitric acid and aqua regia are used
...
Hydrofluoric acid is also used for
dissolving silicate ores
...
Fluxing agents
...
Fluxing agents may be
classified as acidic (K2S2O7, KHF2 and B2O3), basic (Na2CO3, K2CO3, NaOH
or KOH) and oxidizing (Na2O2)
...

 Reagents and chemicals used in the laboratory are classified as follows:
a
...
Reagents that undergo superficial
purification and not directly used for analysis
b
...
Reagents used by pharmacists and unfit for analysis
c
...
Reagents that are more refined compared to
technical reagents
d

container

solutions:

liquid compound diluted with another liquid

solute, in moles, dissolved in a solvent and diluting to a final volume of 1L
in a volumetric flask
mole of solute (mol)
M

Formality (F) – concentration term identical to molarity commonly used for
solutions of ionic salts that do not exist as molecule in solid or in solution

Treatment of the sample
 Some samples has to be reduced or oxidized prior to analysis or sometimes
treated to become colored or converted to a form that it can be readily volatilized
 More often, the accuracy of an analysis is affected by the presence of unwanted
components called interferences
 Interferences can be eliminated by converting it into non-interfering form by a
process called masking
...


Measurement of the analyte
 Using classical methods of analysis, results can be accurate up to a few parts per
thousand or better, requires relatively large amount of sample and usually
applied to measurement of major constituents in a sample
 Instrumental methods are generally more sensitive and selective

precipitate, Q must be minimized and S must be maximized

Electrical nature of colloidal suspensions
 Suspensions, which are stable since these particles are either positively or
negatively charged, hence repel each other
 By heating, stirring and addition of electrolyte causes this suspension to
combine together and form a readily filterable solid

solid is called coagulation or agglomeration

 Titration is done at a pH of 8 to avoid precipitation of silver as hydroxide
(above pH of 10) and eliminate formation of HCrO4–1 (below pH of 6) which
results to consumption of more titrant

clearly since a chromate ion imparts an intense yellow color

 For the titration of chloride, the resulting precipitate is filtered off before the
back titration since it reacts with the titrant and is more soluble than AgSCN
 For the titration of iodide, the indicator is not added until all iodide is

Important terminologies
 Oxidation – process which involves increase in oxidation state as a result of loss
of electron
 Reduction – process which involves decrease in oxidation state as a result of
gain of electron
 Disproportionation – process in which an element in an intermediate oxidation
state yields products in both lower and higher oxidation states
 Oxidant or oxidizing agent – substance that accepts electron and undergoes
reduction
 Reductant or reducing agent – substance that donates electron and undergoes
oxidation

Rules in assigning oxidation numbers
 An atom in its free or elemental form has oxidation equal to zero
 For monoatomic ions, the oxidation number is equal to its charge
 Metals have positive oxidation number such as alkali metals (+1), alkaline
earth metals (+2), aluminum (+3), zinc (+2) and silver (+1)
 Nonmetals usually have negative oxidation numbers:
 Oxygen is usually –2, except in peroxides (–2) and superoxides (–1)
 Hydrogen is usually +1, except in hydrides (–1)
 Fluorine has –1 oxidation state; other halogens are usually in the –1
oxidation state, except when combined with oxygen, they are positive;
when different halogens are bound to each other, –1 is assigned to the more
electronegative halogen
 The sum of oxidation number of elements in a compound is equal to zero
 The sum of oxidation number of elements in a polyatomic ion is equal to the
charge of the ion

Auxiliary oxidants and reductants
 Pre-reductants
 Jones reductor - consists of zinc metal treated with 2% solution of HgCl2
(amalgamated zinc) and used to reduce Fe +3 (⮀Fe+2), Cu+2 (⮀Cu), TiO+2
(⮀Ti+2), UO2+2 (⮀U+3 or ⮀U+4) and Cr+3(⮀Cr+2)
 Walden reductor - consists of a column filled with silver metal or an
insoluble salt of silver and does not reduce Fe+3 and TiO+2
 Na2SO3, NaHSO3, or SnCl2
 Pre-oxidants
