Inorganic Chemistry The study of chemicals that do not contain carbon.
4
Organic Chemistry The study of chemicals that contain carbon.
Origin: study of chemicals in living organisms.
5
Organic or Inorganic ? Sulfuric Acid H2SO4 Methane CH4

6
Physical Chemistry The study of :
The mechanism The rate The energy transfer that happens when matter undergoes change.
7
Biochemistry Study of processes that take place in organisms.
8
Analytical Chemistry Composition of matter.
Ex: Mass Spectrometer Gas Chromatograph
9
Goals of Analytical Chemistry
What is it? Identification Qualitative Analysis How much? Quantitative Analysis
10
Analytical Chemistry deals with methods for determining the chemical composition of samples of matter . A qualitative method yields information about the identity of atomic or molecular species or the functional groups in the sample; a quantitative method, in contrast, provides numerical information as to the relative amount of one or more of these components.
11
Present day Instrumental Analysis
Better and Faster More Data (Images) Miniaturization Better data processing methods - Chemo metrics
12
Classical Methods Separation of analytes by precipitation, extraction, or distillation. Qualitative analysis by reaction of analytes with reagents that yielded products that could be recognized by their colors, boiling or melting points, solubilities, optical activities, or refractive indexes. Quantitative analysis by gravimetric or by titrimetric techniques.
13
Gravimetric Methods – the mass of the analyte or some compound produced from the analyte was determined. Titrimetric Methods – the volume or mass of a standard reagent required to react completely with the analyte was measured.
14
Instrumental Methods Measurements of physical properties of analytes, such as conductivity, electrode potential, light absorption, or emission, mass to charge ratio, and fluorescence, began to be used for quantitative analysis of a variety of inorganic, organic, and biochemical analyte.
