What is Analytical Chemistry ? Analytical chemistry deals with separating, identifying, and quantifying the relative amounts of the components of an analyte. Analyte = the thing to analyzed; the component(s) of a sample that are to be determined.
Analytical Chemistry analyze: "what is it? (qualitative analysis) "how much is there?“ (quantitative analysis)
The role of analytical chemistry: central science The relationship between analytical chemistry and the other sciences Chemistry : Biological, Inorganic, Organic, Physical Physics : Astrophysics, Astronomy, Biophysics Biology : Botany, Genetics, Microbiology, Molecular biology, Zoology Geology : Geophysics, Geochemistry, Paleontology, Paleobiology Environmental science : Ecology, Meteorology, Oceanography Medicine : Clinical, Medicinal, Pharmacy, Toxicology Material science : Metallurgy, Polymers, Solid state Engineering : Civil, Chemical, Electronical, Mechanical Agriculture : Agronomy, Animal, Crop, Food, Horticulture, Soil Social Science : Archeology, Anthropology, Forensics Analytical chemistry
Several different areas of analytical chemistry: Clinical analysis - blood, urine, feces, cellular fluids, etc., for use in diagnosis. Pharmaceutical analysis - establish the physical properties, toxicity, metabolites, quality control, etc. 3. Environmental analysis - pollutants, soil and water analysis, pesticides. 4. Forensic analysis - analysis related to criminology; DNA finger printing, finger print detection; blood analysis. 5. Industrial quality control - required by most companies to control product quality. 6. Bioanalytical chemistry and analysis - detection and/or analysis of biological components (i.e., proteins, DNA, RNA, carbohydrates, metabolites, etc.). This often overlaps many areas. Develop new tools for basic and clinical research.
History of Analytical Methods Classical methods: early years (separation of analytes) via precipitation, extraction or distillation Qualitative: recognized by color, boiling point, solubility, taste Quantitative: gravimetric or titrimetric measurements Instrumental Methods: newer, faster, more efficient Physical properties of analytes: conductivity, electrode potential, light emission absorption, mass to charge ratio and fluorescence, many more…
Types of Analysis Gravimetric Methods Titrimetric (Volumetric) Methods measure the mass of an analyte (or something chemically equivalent to the analyte) Titrimetric (Volumetric) Methods measure the quantity of a reagent needed to completely react the analyte Electroanalytical Methods measure the change in the electrical potential, current, resistance or charge produced by an analyte Spectroscopic Methods measure the interaction between electromagnetic radiation (light, UV, IR, etc.) and the analyte Chemical Separations separate and measure the analyte of interest by chemical means (chromatography) Other Methods

Titrations Spectrophotometric Titrations 1.) Use Absorbance of Light to Follow Progress of Titration Example: - Titrate a protein with Fe3+ where product (complex) has red color - Product has an absorbance maximum at 465 nm - Absorbance is proportional to the concentration of iron bound to protein Analyte (colorless) titrant (colorless) (red) As Fe3+ binds protein solution turns red
Titrations Spectrophotometric Titrations 1.) Use Absorbance of Light to Follow Progress of Titration Example: - As more Fe3+ is added, red color and absorbance increases, - When the protein is saturated with iron, no further color can form - End point – intersection of two lines (titrant has some absorbance at 465nm) When all the protein is bound to Fe3+, no further increase in absorbance. As Fe3+ continues to bind protein red color and absorbance increases.
