1. Compare and Contrast

(a) qualitative chemistry and quantitative chemistry

- QUANTITATIVE chemistry uses numerical datas such as

masses and volumes in analysis. QUALITATIVE chemistry, on
the other hand, from the word itself quality uses features such
as colors, odors, and qualities alike. Hence, both are used in the
field of analytical chemistry depending on its aplication. To
wrap it up, remember that quantitative chemistry uses
numbers in contrast with qualitative chemistry which uses
words.

(b) basic research and target research

- TARGET research has specific problems and it uses existing

principles and techniques. BASIC research has innovative
concepts and adapts to new principles, Unlike target research,
basic research is more flexible. The latter does adhere to
changes in terms of characterization and analysis.

(c) absolute chemical analysis and relative chemical analysis

- ABSOLUTE chemical analysis is cheaper than relative

chemical analysis. But the latter consumes less time in analysis.
Relative chemical analysis is compatible with computer but still
absolute chemical analysis gives more precise answer. The two
however are both methods used in chemical analysis.
2. Define

(a) Analytical Chemistry

- It is the science of chemical measurement. It deals with

analysing the field of chemistry, by means of studying and using
instruments and methods that are used to separate, identify,
and quantify a matter.

(b) Steps in Chemical analysis

- These are the procedures used in chemical analysis. There are

seven steps in the process and each plays a significant role for
a successful analysis to happen.

- Research, Experiment, Observation

(c) procedure

- Steps in chemical analysis

(d) technique

4. Discuss

(a) Define the Problem

- In defining a problem there are factors to be considered. In

order to be successful in the following processes, a problem
should be recognized first so that it can be properly adressed. If
we want answer, we must know the problem.

(b) Select a method

- When the problem is successfuly determined, we proceed in

selecting an appropriate method according to the samle size,
the concentration, expertise, and other factors in the analysis.

(c) Obtain a Representative sample

- Base on what I understood, obtaining a representative sample

means we may have first a sample with the same feature as
that of original sample, then we might want to consider it in
analysis. Or we might want to test few of the sample first.

(d) Prepare the sample for analysis

- Now we analyse the sample. Is it gas? Does it dissolve? What

needs to be changed?

(e) Perform any neccessary chemical separations

- We can do this through distillation, precipitation, solvent

extraction, chromatography, and electrophoresis.
(f) Perform the measurement

- When we perform measurement we look at the following

factors; the callibration, validation/controls/blanks, and the
replicates.

(g) Calculate the result and report

- Now we can see the reliability and accuracy of the analysis.
