Analytical chemistry
Derivative differential thermal analysis
Chemistry; Analytical chemistry
A method for precise determination in thermograms of slight temperature changes by taking the first derivative of the differential thermal analysis curve (thermogram) which plots time versus ...
Volumetric pipet
Chemistry; Analytical chemistry
A graduated glass tubing used to measure quantities of a solution; the tube is open at the top and bottom, and a slight vacuum (suction) at the top pulls liquid into the calibrated section; breaking ...
Weight titration
Chemistry; Analytical chemistry
A titration in which the amount of titrant required is determined in terms of the weight that must be added to reach the end point.
Partition coefficient
Chemistry; Analytical chemistry
In the equilibrium distribution of a solute between two liquid phases, the constant ratio of the solute’s concentration in the upper phase to its concentration in the lower phase. symbolised K.
Detection limit
Chemistry; Analytical chemistry
In chemical analysis, the minimum amount of a particular component that can be determined by a single measurement with a stated confidence level.
Peak area
Chemistry; Analytical chemistry
The area enclosed between the peak and the base line on a spectrogram or chromatogram.
Determination
Chemistry; Analytical chemistry
The finding of the value of a chemical or physical property of a compound, such as reaction-rate determination or specific-gravity determination.
