Methods of analytical reactions
DRYMETHOD
WET METHOD
DRY METHOD
The sample tested and the analytical reagent are taken in the solidstate and subjected to heating at high temperature
WET METHOD
Usually performedinqualitativeanalysis (precipitation, titration, and colorimetric methods). They are accompanied by an external effect: changing of the solution coloration, forming or dissolving the precipitation, evolution of gas
Dry Method: Flame test
Introducing a sampleoftheelement or compound to hot, non-luminous flame, and observing the color that appears in result
Dry Method: Bead Test
Sodium tetraborate Na2B4O7 ∙10H20 when heating combines readily with a number of colored transition 5 metal oxides, such as Co, Ni, Cr, Cu, Mn, etc., to form the corresponding metaborates (a glassy mass) possessing characteristic colors
Dry Method: Charcoal Cavity Test
Cations is converted into the metal carbonate in a charcoal cavity which decomposes on heating to metal oxide or even to the metallic state. The cation present can be detected from the color of the bead or residue left in the cavity or deposit formed outside the cavity called incrustation
Stepsinatypicalquantitativeanalysis
1. Selecting a method of analysis
2. Sampling
3. Conversion of the analyte into a form suitable for measurement
