is analytical chemicstry the same as chemical analysis?

In short, no.\n\nAs a science, chemistry is usually separated into four main categories: organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical.  Analytical chemistry deals with detection, structural elucidation of chemical compounds, and instrumentation.  \n\nA chemical analysis is used to refer to a battery of tests that are performed on a given sample.

Do you mean a reaction?  Some can be tracked by analytical methods.  Chemical equation has no meaning in this context.

Qualitative analysis answers the question what substances or elements are within a sample. Quantitative analysis answers the question how much of these substances are within the sample.\n\nIn both cases, a negative answer means "we didn't find anything using the methods we had", not "there isn't anything of this substance inside".

Either:\n\n(a) you're not getting a very clean separation, as the peaks should be vivid\n\nor\n\n(b) your detector is insuitable for the acids you're studying.\n\nAtleast, that's my analysis. Any A-Chem experts here?

Chemdraw is really the best software, especially for a graduate student.  No one uses chemsketch, so if the file types are incompatible, communicating with your advisor could become a problem.  On an unrelated note, check to see what kind of computer youd advisor and group use, ie. Mac or PC.  If you're in the market for a computer, it is advisable to get the same kind.  Anyway, also, chemsketch doesn't have premade object settings, whereas chemdraw does  The ACS 1996 document settings will be necessary for submitting publications.  Finally, if you're going to a big enough school and don't want to purchase software, you may not need to rely on chemsketch, as the university will probably have a site license to download and use chemdraw.

the branch of chemistry that uses a lot of computer is analytical. it depends on what kind of instrument, but most of them are connected to a computer to get the data/output

There are literally TONS of apparatuses used in chemistry, it really depends on the type of chemistry you are doing.  It can start, as stated before, with simple glassware for repeating simple chemical reactions.  This simplicity can be brought to the complexity of machinery used in biochemical labs, such as a mass spectrometry machine, which might cost upwards of half a million dollars compared to a couple of bucks for a beaker.

Yes, they are the same thing.  Good luck on your test.

Hi there,\n\nBeing a chemist also, I am biased toward choosing chemistry over biology. Either degree is a strong background for forensic science, but I think it also depends on what field of forensic science you plan on entering. I am currently working on my Master's in Forensic Science, but my university also offers it in DNA and Serology, Drug Chemistry and Toxicology. If you want to lean towards DNA analysis then biology would be a stronger background. But for something like Drug Chemistry or Toxicology, a background in Chemistry may be more beneficial. Also, I think having a chemistry degree will prepare you more for the various analytical procedures used in forensic science. \n\nEither way, having a solid science background is the first step, and I think if you like all aspects of forensic science, as I do, it won't matter which BS you have, since its such a broad discipline. \n\nGood luck!

Gas-liquid chromatography is useful for a wide range of non-polaranalytes, but poor for thermally labile molecules. \nAtomic absorption spectroscopy reveals identity and concentration of atoms and ions,it does not provide any other information about molecules,bonds etc.

There are two broad classifications:  physical properties and chemical properties.  Physical properties include the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases (mostly).  Chemical properties, on the other hand, are many and varied.  There's organic and inorganic, biochemical, petrochemical, there are some based on a particular anion (nitride, oxide, phosphate, etc.); it all really depends on how specific one wants to be and what one is attempting to do or study.  \n\nThe analysis of matter is also broad:  there is structural analysis of both atoms and molecules (how is it put together?), there is quantitative analysis (how much is present?), and there is qualitative analysis (what is it?).

Argentometry refers to quantitative analysis using silver (remember the symbol for silver is Ag comes from the Latin word "argentum" meaning "silver") For example, silver nitrate solution could be used to determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid by precipitating the chloride as silver chloride, then drying and weighing it. Silver's high atomic mass is useful here to give high precision.

Consider ordering a Chemistry magazine from your local University or nearby University. ChemCorner usually has lots of information about current research etc.

No, the tests are different. They do a lot more analysis than your at home test.

Different chemical composition, one has a reaction the other doesn't..☺
