Quantitative Chemical Analysis -
These measure electrical properties like potential (volts) or current (amps) as they relate to the concentration of specific ions.
Used to separate complex mixtures (like blood or soil) before quantifying the individual components, often using techniques like HPLC or Gas Chromatography. The General Process A typical analysis follows a strict logical flow: Sampling: Obtaining a representative piece of the whole. Quantitative Chemical Analysis
Techniques are generally categorized by what physical property they measure: Using stoichiometry and statistics to turn raw data
Involves measuring the mass of a product. For example, precipitating a solid out of a solution and weighing it to calculate the original concentration of an element. Quantitative Chemical Analysis
Using one of the methods above to get raw data.
Using stoichiometry and statistics to turn raw data into a meaningful result (like "0.05 mg/L").
