Importance of Analytical Chemistry: Examples
• Chemical structure of nano-materials and
In nano-science their concentration.
In environmental
• Measurement of gaseous pollutants such as
protection CO, SOx and NOx. 7
1.2 Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis
Quantitative Analysis
How much is Present?
Determination of the amount of
substance/substances in the samples
Analytical
Chemistry
Qualitative Analysis
What is present?
Identification of elements, ions, or
compounds in a sample

1.6 Some useful web sites
➢See pages 16 -17 for very useful web sites related
to analytical chemistry.
➢Each student should visit such web sites
occasionally during the course of studying
analytical chemistry to deepen his/her
understanding.
