Examples of analyte in the following topics:

  • Redox Titrations

    • Redox titration determines the concentration of an analyte containing either an oxidizing or a reducing agent.
    • A standardized 4 M solution of KMnO4 is titrated against a 100 mL sample of an unknown analyte containing Fe2+.
    • What is the concentration of the analyte?
    • Now that we know the number of moles of iron present in the sample, we can calculate the concentration of the analyte:
    • Calculate the concentration of an unknown analyte by performing a redox titration.
  • Strong Acid-Strong Base Titrations

    • The reactant of unknown concentration is deposited into an Erlenmeyer flask and is called the analyte.
    • The indicator—phenolphthalein, in this case—has been added to the analyte in the Erlenmeyer flask.
    • Step 2: Use stoichiometry to figure out the moles of HCl in the analyte.
  • The Study of Chemistry

    • As one of the natural sciences, chemistry provides scientists with insight into other physical sciences and powerful analytical tools for engineering applications.
    • Analytical chemistry seeks to determine the exact chemical compositions of substances.
  • Description of the Hydrogen Atom

    • The hydrogen atom (consisting of one proton and one electron, not the diatomic form H2) has special significance in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory as a simple two-body problem physical system that has yielded many simple analytical solutions in closed-form.
    • The solution to the Schrödinger equation for hydrogen is analytical.
    • In most such cases, the solution is not analytical and either computer calculations are necessary or simplifying assumptions must be made.
  • Acid-Base Titrations

    • Alkalimetry, or alkimetry, is the specialized analytic use of acid-base titration to determine the concentration of a basic (alkaline) substance; acidimetry, or acidometry, is the same concept applied to an acidic substance.
    • Place an accurately measured volume of the analyte into the Erlenmeyer flask using the pipette, along with a few drops of indicator.
  • Amorphous Solids

    • At an atomic scale, it is difficult to distinguish between the two different types, even using advanced analytical techniques such as x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.
  • Combustion Analysis

    • Combustion analysis is an elemental analytical technique used on solid and liquid organic compounds.
  • Major Features of a Phase Diagram

    • The phase of a system is generally defined as the region in the parameter space of the system's thermodynamic variables (for immediate purposes, in the pressure-temperature parameter space) in which the system's free energy is analytic (meaning it can be calculated exactly from known parameters of the system).
  • Strong Acid-Weak Base Titrations

    • A known volume of base with unknown concentration is placed into an Erlenmeyer flask (the analyte), and, if pH measurements can be obtained via electrode, a graph of pH vs. volume of titrant can be made (titration curve).
  • Particle in a Box

    • The particle in a box model provides one of the very few problems in quantum mechanics which can be solved analytically.
