EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Chemistry involves the qualitative and quantitative determination of the chemical components of substances.

Detailed explanation-2: -Quantitative analysis is any method used for determining the amount of a chemical in a sample. The amount is always expressed as a number with appropriate units. An acid-base titration is an example of quantitative analysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gravimetric analysis describes a set of methods used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) based on its mass.

Detailed explanation-4: -Analytical chemistry deals with the solving of qualitative and quantitative problems.

Detailed explanation-5: -Qualitative analysis tells ‘what’ is in a sample, while quantitative analysis is used to tell ‘how much’ is in a sample. The two types of analysis are often used together and are considered examples of analytical chemistry.
