Topics in Introduction to Analytical Chemistry
1
Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry
- Analytical chemistry facilitates investigation of chemical composition using instruments and methods to separate, identify, and quantify matter
- Two main types: Qualitative analysis (detection of presence/absence of elements) and Quantitative analysis (determination of relative proportions)
- Applications in forensic science, medicine, agriculture, industry, and environmental monitoring
2
Scientific Notation and Mathematical Operations
- Scientific notation expresses very large or small numbers as N × 10ⁿ where 1 ≤ N < 10
- Addition/Subtraction: Make exponents equal, then add/subtract coefficients
- Multiplication: Multiply coefficients, add exponents
3
Precision, Accuracy, and Error Analysis
- Accuracy: Nearness of measured value to true value
- Precision: Reproducibility of measurements (consistency)
- High precision is prerequisite for high accuracy
4
Significant Figures
- Significant figures represent certainty in measurements plus one uncertain digit
- Rules: (1) All non-zero digits significant, (2) Zeros between non-zeros significant, (3) Leading zeros not significant, (4) Trailing zeros significant if decimal present
- In calculations, result limited by least precise measurement
