Introduction to analytical techniques activity
Chemists use a range of techniques to find out what compounds are in a sample, and how much of a particular compound there is. In this activity, you will choose from 5 different analytical techniques and communicate your findings with the class.
This will give you a taste of what the different techniques are that you may like to research further for your AOS 2 data analysis task.
The 5 techniques are:
- Electrical conductivity
- Colorimetry
- Atomic absorption spectroscopy
- UV-Visible spectroscopy
- High performance liquid chromatography
Your task—
Put together at least 2 powerpoint slides and a 2 min explanation or recording, which illustrates—
- What the method detects (what type of molecules, is it qualitative or quantitative?)
- What real life applications it can be used for
- Basics of any machinery involved
- What the data looks like and how this may be interpreted.
