What is Analytical Chemistry?

Analytical Chemistry is a branch of chemistry focusing on the identification of compound and composition of materials. It incorporates the principles of both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Key Figures in Analytical Chemistry

  • Robert Bunsen: Known for his development of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen also made significant contributions to early analytical chemistry by developing various methods of measuring the constituents of gases.
  • Arnold Orville Beckman: Beckman invented the pH meter, a critical instrument in analytical chemistry for precise measurement of acidity or alkalinity in solutions.
  • Jaroslav Heyrovský: The father of polarography, a technique used in electroanalytical chemistry, Heyrovský was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1959 for his discovery and development of this method.

Applications of Analytical Chemistry

From environmental science to medicine and industrial quality control, analytical chemistry plays a crucial role in our modern world. Some typical applications include:

  1. Analysis of air and water pollution levels
  2. Drug testing in pharmaceutical industries
