Main Ideas and Concepts

Definition of Physical Methods
Physical methods are non-destructive techniques that allow for the reuse of chemical species after analysis, unlike chemical methods.
Key Questions in Analysis
- What chemical species are present in the system?
- What is the quantity of these species?
Identification of Chemical Species
- Infrared Spectroscopy
  - Uses a spectrum of transmittance as a function of wave number.
  - Peaks in the graph (absorption bands) correspond to specific chemical bonds.
  - Identification involves consulting data tables to match these bands to known molecules.
- UV-Visible Spectroscopy
  - Involves absorbance as a function of wavelength (inverse of transmittance).
  - Peaks appear upwards between 400 and 800 nanometers.
  - Identification is done by comparing with known spectra and superimposing them.
Determining Quantity of Chemical Species
- Dosage by Calibration
  Non-destructive methods to quantify chemical species.
  - Conductimetry
    - Used for ionic species.
    - Based on Kohlrausch's law, which states conductivity is proportional to concentration.
    - A graph is plotted from standard solutions to determine the concentration of unknown solutions.
  - Spectrophotometry
    - Used for colored solutions.
    - Based on Beer-Lambert law, which states absorbance is proportional to concentration.
    - Similar to Conductimetry, a graph is plotted from standard solutions to determine unknown concentrations.
Dilution Factor
Understanding dilution is crucial for preparing standard solutions. The Dilution Factor can be calculated as the ratio of the mother concentration to the daughter concentration or the volume of the daughter solution to the volume of the mother solution.
