given sample (establishes the presence of a
given substance)

quantification, and statistical treatment of
the components of matter Quantitative
Analysis - Deals with the quantity (amount) of
material (establishes the amount of a substance
in a sample) - Some analytical methods offer
both types of information (GC/MS)
5ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

weight) - Titrimetry (based on volume) -
Electrochemical (measurement of potential,
current, charge, etc) - Spectral (the use of
electromagnetic radiation) - Chromatography
(separation of materials) - Chemometrics
(statistical treatment of data)
6ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
General Steps in Chemical Analysis - Formulating
the question (to be answered through chemical
measurements) - Selecting techniques (find
appropriate analytical procedures) -
Sampling (select representative material to be
analyzed) - Sample preparation (convert
representative material into a suitable form for
analysis)
7ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
General Steps in Chemical Analysis -
Analysis (measure the concentration of analyte in
several identical portions) (multiple samples
identically prepared from another
source) (replicate samples splits of sample from
the same source) - Reporting and
interpretation (provide a complete report of
results) - Conclusion (draw conclusions that are
consistent with data from results)

measurement - Only one uncertain or estimated
digit should be reported Significant Figures

digit
17RULES FOR SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
1. Nonzero integers are always significant 2.
Leading zeros are not significant 0.0045 (2
sig. figs.) 0.00007895 (4 sig. figs.) The
zeros simply indicate the position of the decimal
point 3. Captive zeros (between nonzero digits)
are always significant 1.0025 (5 sig figs.)
12000587 (8 sig figs)
18RULES FOR SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

are significant only if the number contains a
decimal point 2.3400 (5 sig figs) 23400

from measurements) are assumed to have
infinite number of significant figures
19RULES FOR SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Rounding off Numbers 1. In a series of
calculations, carry the extra digits through
to the final result before rounding off to the
required significant figures 2. If the
first digit to be removed is less than 5, the
preceding digit remains the same (2.53 rounds

20RULES FOR SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Rounding off Numbers 3. If the first digit to be
removed is greater than 5, the preceding
digit increases by 1 (2.56 rounds to 2.6
and 1.27 rounds to 1.3) 4. If the digit to be
removed is exactly 5 - The preceding number is
increased by 1 if that results in an even
number (2.55 rounds to 2.6 and 1.35000
rounds to 1.4) - The preceding number remains the
same if that results in an odd number (2.45
rounds to 2.4 and 1.25000 rounds to 1.2)

79CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM

chemical reaction - The product molecules
interact with one another to re-produce reactants
forward reaction
A B
C D
reverse reaction
Chemical Equilibrium - When the rate of product
formation (forward reaction) is equal to the
rate of reactant formation (reverse reaction)
80CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM
- Reactant and product concentrations are usually
not equal - Such reactions are known as
reversible reactions - Forward reaction rate
decreases with time as reactants are used up -
Reverse reaction rate increases with time as
products are being formed - Concentrations are
reached when both forward and reverse rates
become equal
81 EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT
- Describes the extent of reaction in a given
system - For a chemical reaction of the form aA
bB ? cC dD - The equilibrium constant
(Keq) is given by
82 EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT
- denotes concentration in moles/liter (M) -
Product concentrations in the numerator -
Reactant concentrations in the denominator -
Concentrations are raised to the powers of the
respective coefficients - Gases (in bars) and
substances in solution (in mol/L) are written in
Keq expressions
83 EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT
- Pure solids, pure liquids (e.g. water), and
solvents are not written since they are
constant - Keq changes with change in
temperature - For exothermic forward reactions
(heat released) Keq decreases with increasing
temperature - For endothermic forward reactions
(heat absorbed) Keq increases with increasing
temperature
84 EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT
Large Keq - Greater product concentrations than
reactant concentrations - Equilibrium position
lies to the right Small Keq - Smaller product
concentrations than reactant concentrations -
Equilibrium position lies to the
left Intermediate Keq (near unity) - Both
products and reactants are in significant
amounts - Equilibrium position lies neither to
the right nor to the left
85 EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT

predominant species - Longer forward reaction

86LE CHATELIERS PRICIPLE
- If a stress (change of conditions) is applied
to a system in equilibrium the system will
readjust (change the equilibrium position) in
the direction that best reduces the stress
imposed on the system - If more products form
as a result of the applied stress the
equilibrium is said to have shifted to the
right - If more reactants form as a result of
the applied stress the equilibrium is said to
have shifted to the left
87LE CHATELIERS PRICIPLE
Concentration Changes For a reaction mixture at
equilibrium - Addition of reactant(s) shifts the
equilibrium position to the right - Removal of
product(s) shifts the equilibrium position to the
right - Addition of product(s) shifts the
equilibrium position to the left - Removal of
reactant(s) shifts the equilibrium position to
the left
88LE CHATELIERS PRICIPLE
Temperature Changes Exothermic Reactions - Heat
is a product - Increase in temperature shifts
the equilibrium position to the left - Decrease
in temperature shifts the equilibrium position to
the right
89LE CHATELIERS PRICIPLE
Temperature Changes Endothermic Reactions -
Heat is a reactant - Increase in temperature
shifts the equilibrium position to the right -
Decrease in temperature shifts the equilibrium
position to the left
90LE CHATELIERS PRICIPLE
Pressure Changes - Gases must be involved in the
chemical reaction - The total number of moles
of the gaseous state must change - Equilibrium
is shifted in the direction of fewer moles
91LE CHATELIERS PRICIPLE
Pressure Changes Higher moles of gaseous
reactants than products - Increase in pressure
shifts the equilibrium position to the right -
Decrease in pressure shifts the equilibrium
position to the left Higher moles of gaseous
products than reactants - Increase in pressure
shifts the equilibrium position to the left -
Decrease in pressure shifts the equilibrium
position to the right
92LE CHATELIERS PRICIPLE
Pressure Changes No change in equilibrium
position occurs if - There is no reactant nor
product in the gaseous state - Number of moles
of gaseous reactants equals number of moles of
gaseous products - Pressure is increased by
adding a nonreactive (inert) gas
93LE CHATELIERS PRICIPLE
Addition of Catalysts - Catalysts do not change
equilibrium positions - Catalysts speed up both
forward and reverse reactions so have no net
effect - Catalysts allow equilibrium to be
established more quickly by lowering the
activation energy
