  1. Analytical Chemistry The Study of Chemical Testing

  2. Analytical Chemistry • What is analytical chemistry? • Science of obtaining, processing, and communicating information about the composition and structure of matter • The art and science of determining what matter is and how much of it exists

  3. Spectroscopy • What is spectroscopy? • Study of how matter interacts with energy • Based on the response of matter to certain frequencies or wavelengths of EM radiation

  4. Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) Analytical Chemistry

  5. Vibration of Bonds • What happens to covalent bonds when exposed to infrared (IR) radiation? • Behave like springs when they are exposed to a particular frequency • They can: • Stretch • Bend • Rock • Scissor • Twist • Wag

  6. Vibration of Bonds

  7. Vibration of Bonds • What is related to the IR frequency needed to vibrate a bond? • Bond enthalpy • Strong bond • High bond enthalpy • More energy is required to vibrate it • Weaker bond • Low bond enthalpy • Less energy is required to vibrate it

  8. Change in Bond Polarity • What happens to a molecule when it vibrates? • If its polarity changes, it becomes infrared (IR) active and detectable in an IR spectrometer • If its polarity doesn’t change, then it cannot be detected and it considered IR inactive

  9. Change in Bond Polarity δ+ δ- IR Active: Stretching involves a change in dipole IR Inactive: Stretching involves no change in dipole

  10. Infrared Spectrometer • What is the layout of an IR spectrometer? Mirrors Spectra IR Light Source S R Monochromator Photomultiplier And Detector

  11. Reading an Infrared Spectrum • How do you read an infrared spectra? • Absorptions are usually expressed as a wavenumber (1/λ) • High wavenumber equals higher energy • Different functional groups absorb at different wavenumbers

  12. Table 17: Infrared Data

  13. Table 17: Infrared Data

  14. Reading an Infrared SpectrumOne last thing… • What is the fingerprint region? • Complex absorption region between 1400 and 400 cm-1 • Analytical databases can ID many chemicals just based on this region

  21. Mass Spectroscopy (MS) Analytical Chemistry

  22. Mass Spectrometry • What is mass spectrometry (MS)? • Two uses: • Determine relative atomic mass based on isotope abundance • Determine the structure of an organic molecule by breaking it into pieces and analyzing fragment abundance

  23. Mass Spectrometer What is the layout of a mass spectrometer?

  24. Mass Spectrometer • How does the deflector separate the different ions? • Depends on the mass of the ion and its charge • NOTE: IB only uses charges of +1 • Large deflection: • Small mass • Small deflection: • Large mass

  25. Reading a Mass Spectrum • How does a spectra assist in determining percent isotope abundance? • Determine the total mass present • 100 + 12.8 + 14.4 = 127.2 • Divide each mass by the total mass and get a percent

  26. Reading a Mass Spectrum

  27. Reading a Mass Spectrum • How does a spectra assist in determining molecular structure? • Molecular fragments are separated based on the mass/charge (m/z) ratios • Fragments are identified and pieced back together to determine molecular structure

  28. Reading a Mass Spectrum • What is the parent peak? • Peak on the mass spectra that has the largest mass because it is the unfragmented ionized molecule • Usually represented by M+ • All other peaks will be compared to it Propanoic acid

  29. Reading a Mass Spectrum • What do the peak heights represent on a mass spectra? • Relative abundance of that particular fragment Propanoic acid

  30. Reading a Mass Spectrum - Warning • What should I be careful about when reading a spectrum? • Not all possible fragments are formed • Unexpected and unusual fragments can also occur • i.e. Only look at the peaks that you are asked to look at 

  31. Mass Spectra Practice #1 Formula CO2 What could have caused the m/z peaks at 16, 28 and 44? What is the molecular structure of this compound?

  32. Mass Spectra Practice #2 Formula C3H8 What could have caused the m/z peaks at 15, 29, 43, 44? What is the molecular structure of this compound?

  33. Mass Spectra Practice #3 – Part A Formula C3H8O What could have caused the m/z peaks at 29, 31, 45, 60? What is the molecular structure of this compound?

  34. Mass Spectra Practice #3 – Part B Formula C3H8O What could have caused the m/z peaks at 45 and 60? What is the molecular structure of this compound?

  35. H1 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H1 NMR) Analytical Chemistry

  36. H1 NMR • What is the function of H1 NMR spectroscopy? • To analyze each unique “chemical environment” of every hydrogen in the organic molecule

  37. Analyzing Chemical Environments

  38. H1 NMR • How can the NMR machine detect these environments? • An applied magnetic field causes all the hydrogen nuclei to align with it and spin with or against it • Nuclei in different environments will spin at different rates due to how much was energy absorbed by the radio waves

  39. H1 NMR • What do the peaks represent? • All of the hydrogens • Called a chemical shift (δ) and measured in parts per million (ppm) • The area underneath each peak is representative of the number of hydrogens in that specific environment • Also, there is always a reference peak (TMS) around zero

  40. Table 18: H1 NMR Data

  41. H1 NMR Spectra Practice #1

  42. H1 NMR Spectra Practice #2

  43. H1 NMR Spectra Practice #3

  44. Uses of NMR Spectroscopy • What are some common uses of NMR technology? • Useful in the medical field because radio waves are harmless • NMR, or MRI, is used in body scanning because it can detect protons in water, fat and carbohydrates • Can also be used to scan the brain for disease and cancer

  45. Atomic Absorption (AA) Analytical Chemistry

  46. Thinking back… • How is an emission spectrum produced? • Excite the electrons • When the electrons relax they release specific wavelengths of light • Produces a light signature

  47. Now reverse it… • What does an atomic absorption (AA) spectrometer measure? • The energy required to excite those electrons, NOT the light produced when they relax

  48. AA • What’s the layout of a double beam AA spectrometer? Light Source Monochromator Monochromatic Detector Nebulized sample in flame cell

  49. AA • What can be measured using absorption? • Light that is absorbed is directly connected to the concentration of the sample and can be measured with incredible precision • Excellent for very low concentrations of metals in water, soil, food, etc.

  50. AA • What are the biggest drawbacks of AA? • You need to know what element you are looking for • Special cathode lamps are needed for each element • i.e.Determining the concentration of lead you would need a lead cathode lamp
