Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on determining the qualitative and quantitative composition of substances. It has two main branches - qualitative analysis which reveals the identity of elements/compounds in a sample, and quantitative analysis which determines the amount of each substance. There are several methods used in analytical chemistry including gravimetric, volumetric, electroanalytical, and spectroscopic methods. Analytical chemistry plays important roles in fields like clinical chemistry, environmental analysis, quality control, and various industrial sectors. Key concepts covered include atomic and molecular weights, chemical equations, moles, molar mass, equivalent weight, and their applications and calculations.
