Methods Used In Wet Chemistry
Methods used in wet chemistry are as follows:
Qualitative Methods:
To find a change, qualitative approaches look for variations in information that cannot be measured. This could involve a modification in texture, color, or smell.
- Chemical tests: Reagents are used in chemical tests to detect the presence of a certain chemical in an unidentified solution. Depending on the chemical it reacts with, the reagents generate a distinct reaction that makes it possible to identify the chemical in the solution.
- Flame test: A more popular variation of the chemical test is the flame test. It only works with metallic ions. Depending on the metal that was burned, different colors are released when the metal powder is burned.
Quantitative Methods:
To show a change, quantitative methods use data that can be evaluated and quantified. Changes in volume, weight, concentration, etc., are examples of this.
- The weight or concentration of a solid that has either formed from a precipitate or been dissolved in a liquid is measured by gravimetric analysis.
- Titration is also known as volumetric analysis since it uses volume measurements to estimate a chemical’s concentration.
- As colourimetry possesses both qualitative and quantitative characteristics, it is a special kind of procedure. To track when a change has happened, colour changes are recorded as part of the qualitative analysis.
