THE ANALYTICAL PROCESS


0-1. Qualitative analysis finds out what is in a sample. Quantitative analysis measures
how much is in a sample.

0-2. Steps in a chemical analysis:
(1) Formulate the question: Convert a general question into a specific one that
can be answered by a chemical measurement.
(2) Select the appropriate analytical procedure.
(3) Obtain a representative sample.
(4) Sample preparation: Convert the representative sample into a sample suitable
for analysis. If necessary, concentrate the analyte and remove or mask
interfering species.
(5) Analysis: Measure the unknown concentration in replicate analyses.
(6) Produce a clear report of results, including estimates of uncertainty.
(7) Draw conclusions: Based on the analytical results, decide what actions to
take.

0-3. Masking converts an interfering species to a noninterfering species.

0-4. A calibration curve shows the response of an analytical method as a function of
the known concentration of analyte in standard solutions. Once the calibration
curve is known, then the concentration of an unknown can be deduced from a
measured response.

0-5. (a) A homogeneous material has the same composition everywhere. In a
heterogeneous material, the composition is not the same everywhere.
(b) In a segregated heterogeneous material, the composition varies on a large
scale. There could be large parches with one composition and large patches
with another composition. The differences are segregated into different
regions. In a random heterogeneous material, the differences occur on a fine
scale. lf we collect a "reasonable-size" portion, we will capture each of the
different compositions that are present.
(e) To sample a segregatedheterogeneous material, we take representative
amounts from each of the obviously different regions. In panel b in Box 0-I,
66% of the area has composition A, 14% is B, and 20% is C. To construct a

representative bulk sample, we could take 66 randomly selected samples
from region A, 14 from region B, and 20 from region C. To sample a
random heterogeneous material, we divide the material into imaginary
segments and collect random segments with the help of a table of random
numbers.

0-6. We are apparently observing interference by Mn? in the I analysis by method
A. The result of the I analysis is affected by the presence of Mn2. The greater
the concentration of Mn? in the mineral water, the greater is the apparent
concentration of I found by method A. Method B is not subject to the same
interference, so the concentration of I is low and independent of addition of
Mn2t. There must be some Mn?' in the original mineral water, which causes
method A to give a higher result than method B even when no Mn?' is
deliberately added.
