    Quantitative Analysis

    Quantitative Analysis is a method used for the determination of amounts and proportions regarding a sample substance. Such a determination is important, as absolute or relative abundance of a chemical constituent can help determine other chemical and physical properties. For example, using a mass spectrometer to determine the relative abundance ratios of specific chemical compounds is a form of quantitative analysis, as relative values are determined in this process. However, sometimes, these amounts and proportions cannot be measured directly, and an indirect indicator must be used. For example, when considering Beer-Lambert’s Law, light absorption may be measured to indirectly measure the concentration of the sample substance, with which the light passes through. Quantitative Analysis is often contrasted to qualitative analysis, which is a method used to detect particular compounds, without measuring values related to quantity. Although, they are very different methods, they are nowadays often used together to provide better information regarding the chemical nature of substances. For example, a chemist may use a qualitative technique such as IR spectroscopy to identify a specific compound. Furthermore, the same chemist may then use quantitative analysis to determine the concentration of that specific compound. Thus, Quantitative Analysis is a powerful tool in the laboratory, especially when it is used in tandem with qualitative analysis. © BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com March 29, 2024, 6:59 am ad1c9bdddf
