Chemical analysis compounds

Colorimeter. An instrument for routine chemical analysis. Compounds or ions which absorb light in the visible part of the spectrum (400 to 800 nanometers) or which are convertible by specific reagents to such compounds can be analyzed with a colorimeter. The instrument typically incorporates an incandescent light bulb as light source, filters to separate the spectral region, a cuvette to contain the sample solution, and a photometer.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), also called electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), is described in section Bl.25,2.1. The most connnonly employed x-rays are the Mg Ka (1253.6 eV) and the A1 Ka (1486.6 eV) lines, which are produced from a standard x-ray tube. Peaks are seen in XPS spectra that correspond to the bound core-level electrons in the material. The intensity of each peak is proportional to the abundance of the emitting atoms in the near-surface region, while the precise binding energy of each peak depends on the chemical oxidation state and local enviromnent of the emitting atoms. The Perkin-Elmer XPS handbook contains sample spectra of each element and bindmg energies for certain compounds [58]. 

Volatile impurities, eg, F2, HF, CIF, and CI2, in halogen fluoride compounds are most easily deterrnined by gas chromatography (109—111). The use of Ftoroplast adsorbents to determine certain volatile impurities to a detection limit of 0.01% has been described (112—114). Free halogen and haHde concentrations can be deterrnined by wet chemical analysis of hydrolyzed halogen fluoride compounds. 

Advances in the technology of chemical analysis and the abiUty to analy2e for trace amounts of complex compounds now make it possible to combine analytical information with sensory analysis to identify taste characteristics and faciUtate process control.

Very little in the way of advances has occurred since 1971 in the applications of ultraviolet or infrared spectroscopy to the analysis of fluonnated organic compounds Therefore, only gas-liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and electron scattering for chemical analysis (ESCA) are discussed The application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to the analysis of fluonnated organic compounds is the subject of another section of this chapter... 

These are semisolid or solid substances formed in nature from crude oils after the volatile components have evaporated and the remainder has undergone oxidation and polymerization. They are also referred to as bitumens, waxes, and pitch. These materials are believed to consist of mixtures of complex organic molecules of high molecular weight. As with crude oils, which contain thousands of different chemical compounds, an exact chemical analysis for identification and composition is impractical to perform on the solid deposits of petroleum. 

A major task of chemical analysis is to determine the formulas of compounds. The formula found by the approach described here is the simplest formula, which gives the simplest whole-number ratio of the atoms present. For an ionic compound, the simplest formula is ordinarily the only one that can be written (e.g., CaCl2, Cr203). For a molecular compound, the molecular formula is a whole-number multiple of the simplest formula, where that number may be 1,2. 

Chemical analysis always leads to the simplest formula of a compound because it gives only the simplest atom ratio of the elements. As pointed out earlier, the molecular formula is a whole-number multiple of the simplest formula. That multiple may be 1 as in H20, 2 as in H202, 3 as in CjHg, or some other integer. To find the multiple, one more piece of data is...

Precipitated K—salt crystals are carefully filtrated and washed so as to separate them from the mother solution. Drying of filtrated K-salt is also a very delicate and important process that must be performed under conditions that avoid hydrolysis of the material. Potassium heptafluorotantalate is sensitive to water, basic compounds and alcohols, especially at elevated temperatures. The main product of K-salt hydrolysis is Marignac s salt. For a long time it was believed that the composition of Marignac s salt is K/Ta Fg. However, X-ray crystal structure analysis and precise chemical analysis of the... 

The term titrimetric analysis refers to quantitative chemical analysis carried out by determining the volume of a solution of accurately known concentration which is required to react quantitatively with a measured volume of a solution of the substance to be determined. The solution of accurately known strength is called the standard solution, see Section 10.3. The weight of the substance to be determined is calculated from the volume of the standard solution used and the chemical equation and relative molecular masses of the reacting compounds. 

Lithium foil is commercially available. Its surface is covered with a "native film" consisting of various lithium compounds [Li0H,Li20,Li3N, (Li20-C02) adduct, or Li2C03], These compounds are produced by the reaction of lithium with 02, H20, C02, or N2. These compounds can be detected by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) [2], As mentioned below, the surface film is closely related to the cycling efficiency. 

Precipitation reactions have many applications. One is to make compounds. The strategy is to choose starting solutions that form a precipitate of the desired insoluble compound when they are mixed. Then we can separate the insoluble compound from the reaction mixture by filtration. Another application is in chemical analysis. In qualitative analysis—the determination of the substances present in a sample—the formation of a precipitate is used to confirm the identity of certain ions. In quantitative analysis, the aim is to determine the amount of each substance or element present. In particular, in gravimetric analysis, the amount of substance present is determined by measurements of mass. In this application, an insoluble compound is precipitated, the precipitate is filtered off and weighed, and from its mass the amount of a substance in one of the original solutions is calculated (Fig. 1.6). Gravimetric analysis can be used in environmental monitoring to find out how much of a heavy metal ion, such as lead or mercury, is in a sample of water.

Induced dissolution is also a well known phenomenon and frequently applied in chemical analysis. To dissolve platinum easily it was suggested by Ropp that the sample should be alloyed with silver or copper, the alloys being easily soluble even in dilute acids. Anhydrous chromic chloride, insoluble in water and dilute acids, becomes easily soluble by adding metallic magnesium or zinc to the dilute acid . In this case the chromium(III) compound is reduced to chro-mium(II), which will be oxidized by the solvent to water-soluble chromium(III)... 

A number of handbooks and monographs are available with detailed descriptions of a variety of plant products and their use (Shahidi and Naczk, 1995). From a more practical point of view, an interlaboratory comparison between six university and industry laboratories of 17 extracts of spices, teas, coffees, and grape skin and of tomato peel slurry established within the framework of an EU sponsored programme, would be of interest (Schwarz et al, 2001). In this collaboration, detailed chemical analysis of the content of different phenolic compounds is compared with six antioxidant assays for the 17 extracts including different extraction procedures. 

Chemical analysis revealed that commercial food grade copper chlorophyllin is not a single, pure compound, but is a complex mixture of structurally distinct porphyrins, chlorin, and non-chlorin compounds with variable numbers of mono-, di-, and tri- carboxylic acid that may be present as either sodium or potassium salts. Although the composition of different chlorophyllin mixtures may vary, two compounds are commonly found in commercial chlorophyllin mixtures trisodium Cu (II) chlorin Cg and disodium Cu (II) chlorin which differ in the number of...
