3 Quantitative chemistry

• Quantitative analysis


  Determining the formulae of compounds and the equations for reactions
• Quantitative analysis


  • Determines the purity of chemical samples
  • Monitors the yield from chemical reactions
• Chemical reactions


  Can be classified in various ways
• Identifying different types of chemical reactions


  • Allows chemists to make sense of how different chemicals react together
  • Establish patterns
  • Make predictions about the behaviour of other chemicals
• Chemical equations


  • Represent chemical reactions
  • Key way for chemists to communicate chemical ideas
