Analytical Techniques

Download Q&A

The Analytical Techniques section focuses on the methods and instruments used for qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis, essential for understanding experimental chemistry, material characterization, and laboratory diagnostics. This module is designed for school (Class 11–12) and undergraduate students, with strong emphasis on conceptual clarity, instrumentation basics, and exam relevance.

In this section, you will study:

  • Classical analytical methods – qualitative analysis, gravimetric and volumetric analysis

  • Spectroscopic techniques – UV–Visible spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, NMR (introductory level), and mass spectrometry

  • Chromatographic methods – paper chromatography, TLC, column chromatography, gas chromatography, and HPLC (basics)

  • Electroanalytical techniques – conductometry, potentiometry, pH measurement, and electrochemical cells

  • Thermal and surface analysis (introductory) – TGA, DTA, and DSC (UG level)

  • Instrumentation principles – working, components, and applications

  • Data interpretation – spectra analysis, peak identification, and quantitative calculations

  • NCERT- and UG-aligned explanations, supported by diagrams, numericals, MCQs, assertion–reason questions, and PYQs

The content is structured to bridge theory with laboratory practice, strengthen analytical and interpretation skills, and help students confidently answer instrumentation- and application-based questions in school and undergraduate examinations.

Develop a systematic and practical understanding of Analytical Techniques to master this crucial area of modern Chemistry.
