the file gives the brief introduction the analytical chemistry and its types.

1. Introduction to
Analytical chemistry

3. •It involves the separation, identification, and the
quantification of matter. It involves the use of classical
methods along with modern methods involving the use of
scientific instruments.
Analytical chemistry involves the following methods:
•The process of separation isolates the required chemical
species which is to be analysed from a mixture.
•The identification of the analyte substance is achieved
via the method of qualitative analysis.
•The concentration of the analyte in a given mixture can
be determined with the method of quantitative analysis

4. Typical Job Functions
An analytical chemist may conduct basic laboratory research,
perform process and product development, design
instruments used in analytical analysis, teach, or work in
marketing and law. Typical job functions include:
•Performing qualitative and quantitative analysis
•Sampling, defining, isolating, concentrating, and preserving
samples
•Setting error limits
•Validating and verifying results through calibration and
standardization
•Performing separations based on differential chemical
properties
•Creating new ways to make measurements
•Interpreting data in proper context
•Communicating results and conclusions to other scientists

5. Where is analytical chemistry
used?
•Assuring the safety and quality of food, pharmaceuticals,
and water
•Assuring compliance with environmental and other
regulations
•Supporting the legal process
•Helping physicians diagnose diseases
•Providing measurements and documentation essential to
trade and commerce
•Analytical chemists often work in service-related jobs and
are employed in industry, academia, and government.

8. Some important applications of this branch of
chemistry are listed below:
•The shelf lives of many medicines are
determined with the help of analytical
chemistry.
•It is used to check for the presence of
adulterants in drugs.
•Soil can be tested to check for appropriate
concentrations of minerals and nutrients that
are necessary for plant growth.
•It is employed in the process of
chromatography where the blood samples of a
person are classified.
