The science that seeks means of measuring the chemical composition of natural and artificial materials
Analytical Chemistry
Establish the presence of a given element or inorganic compound in a sample
QualitativeInorganic
Establishes the presence of a give functional group or organic compound in a sample
QualitativeOrganic
Establishes the amount of a given element or compound in a sample
Quantitative
Addition of a reaction to a solution being analyzed until some equivalence is reached
Titration
Determining the amount of material present by weighing the sample before and after some chemical reaction
Gravimetry
The systematic scheme to confirm the presence of certain elements by performing a series of reactions to eliminate ranges of possibilities and the confirm them by a confirm test
Inorganic Qualitative Analysis
Measures the interaction of the molecules with electromagnetic radiation
Spectroscopy
Measures mass-to-change ratios of molecules, using electric and magnetic fields
Mass Spectrometry
Technique that characterizes the chemical structure of materials at the atomic level by analyzing the diffraction pattern of X-Rays that have been deflected by atoms in the material
Crystallography
Measures the interaction of the material with an electric field
Electrochemical Analysis
Measure of the material and heat
Thermal Analysis
Process used to decrease the complexity of material mixtures
Separation
Combinations of techniques
Hybrid techniques
The visualization of single molecules, single cells, biological tissue and nano-micro materials
