What is the purpose of sampling?
The purpose of SAMPLING is to obtain aREPRESENTATIVE SAMPLES andHOMOGENOUS of the whole sample that canbe taken to the laboratory for chemical analysisand the results obtain will be ACCURATE.
Representative means that content ofanalytical sample reflects content of bulksample.
Homogeneous means that the analyticalsample has the same content throughout theanalysis.

A chemical analysis is usually performed ononly small portion of the material collectedto be characterized.A. If the amount of material is very small
and it is not needed for further use, thenthe entire samples may be used for
analysis.B. The material to be sampled must either inthe form of solid, liquid or gas.
C. Sampling method depends on type of
sample solid, liquid or gas.

SamplingDeciding how to obtain a sample for analysisdepend on,
1. The size of the bulk to be sampled.
2. The physical state of the fraction to beanalyzed. (solid, liquid, gas)
3. The chemistry of the material to beassayed.
*Sampling techniques that that would destroyor alter the identity or quantity of theanalyte are forbidden.

Obtaining a representativesample is the first step ofan analysis.
Thegross sampleis several smallportions of the sample. Sampletaken at random an assumed tobe as representative.
Gross sample that is reduced to asufficiently small size to behandled is called the laboratory
sample.An aliquot of this sample is takenfor the analysis sample.

Identify the population fromwhich the sample is to be
obtained.
Collect a gross sample thatis truly representative of the
population being sampled.
Reduce the gross sample toa laboratory sample that is
suitable for analysis.

Sampling Solids Inhomogeneity of the material, make
sampling of solids more difficult.
The easiest way to sample a material isgrab sample the sample taken at random
and assumed to be representative. For reliable results, it is best to take 1/50
to 1/100 of the total bulk. The larger the
particle size, the larger the gross sampleshould be.
The gross sample must be reduced in size toobtain a laboratory sample.

There is specific techniques that can be used fortaking the samples. Using an example, explain how tosample either a solid, liquids or gases sample (5m)
Sampling the solid1. Using the method cone and quarter.
2. Divide a pile of material into quarter.
3. Take sample from each quarter of the pile andcrush these sample and form into smaller conicalpile.
4. Flatten the conical pile and cut into smaller equal
quarter.5. Two opposite quarters are chosen at random.
6. Crush the quarter further.
7. The whole steps are repeated until the laboratory
samples are obtained. Chapter 4 12

The purpose of drying solid samples is toensure that the exact weight is obtainedduring the QUANTITATIVE chemicalanalysis.
If drying not done, the weight of sample isreported as is basis.
How it is done?
Solid samples dried in oven at 105oC 110oC for1-2 hours.Plant and tissue samples dried by heating.

Sampling Liquids Liquid samples are homogeneous and are much
easier to sample. If liquid samples are nothomogeneous and have only small quantity, they canbe shaken and sampled immediately.
The gross sample can be relatively small.
If water sample is taken from the river, then thewater samples is collected at the SURFACE,MIDDLE and at the BOTTOM of the river bed.
If the liquid is in a large container, then the liquidshould be stirred first before the samples aretaken at the top, middle and at the bottom ofthe container.

1. Grab sampling. An actual sample of air is
taken in a flask, bottle, bag or othersuitable container. Done over a period offew seconds or up to 1-2 minutes.
2. Continuous or integrated sampling. Gases or
vapours are removed from the air over ameasured time-period and concentrated bypassage through a solid or liquid sorbent.
Examples
Rotary vane pump with open flows to 32 L/min,locking flow valve, 10 feet tubing, and silencer forquieter operations. Suitable for use with asbestoscassettes, VersaTrap cassettes, and bioaerosolimpactors

Sampling Gases Tend to be homogeneous.
Large volume of samples is requiredbecause of their low density.
Air analysis:
Use a `Hi-Vol sampler that is
containing filters to collectparticulates.
Liquid displacement method:
The sample must has little solubility
in the liquid and does not reactwith the liquid.
Breath sample:
The subject could blow into
evacuated bag. Chapter 4 18

Sample Storage There is a time gap between when the
sample is taken and the actual analysis isbeing carried out.
Therefore the sample should not beadulterated by foreign matter or there is a
lost of analyte during storage. During the storage of samples certain side
reactions can occur. This will change theproperties of the samples that will beanalysed.
Therefore, the sample, once collected mustbe handled and stored in a manner so as toprotect it from contamination or alteration.

Problems encounter during storage of samples
1. The sample can be contaminated by foreign matter.
2. Lost of analyte during storage.
3. Decomposition of sample.
4. Side reactions can occur.
5. The sample should not react with the wall of the
container or get contaminated.6. Lost of analytes during storage of volatile liquid
samples in which the container is not tightly closed.
7. Loss of water from hygroscopic material.
8.Precipitation of metals from water samples.

Why we do proper and suitablestorage of sample?
To prevent:1. Contamination or alteration that may cause
by container, the atmosphere or the light
2. Loss of the analyte due to exposure toatmosphere or adsorption onto the wall ofthe container
3. Decomposition due to heat, light or
bacteria

Examples of precaution taken to preserve the sample
Trace amount of metal should not be stored in glass container
since glass can leach small amount of metal
Trace organic compound may react with plastic container.
Preservatives may have to be added to sample which is
unstable. Eg. NaCI is added to blood sample to preserve the
blood.
Samples may need to be stored in refrigerator to avoid
decomposition of sample from bacterial sources.

Five general principles of sample preparation
The sample preparation should be done without losing any ofthe analytes.
The sample preparation should include bringing the analytesinto the best chemical form for the method to be used.
Sample preparation should include removing someinterferences.
Sample preparation should be done without adding newinterferences.
Sample preparation may include diluting or concentrating theanalytes to get the best concentration for the method
chosen. Chapter 4 43

Samples DissolutionSample dissolution is digestion or mineralization the
analyte into solution and to get rid of the interferingorganic substances in the samples.
A. Dissolving inorganic materials or sample thatcan be converted to an inorganic derivative
for measurements. Solution that totallydestroy the sample matrix.
B. Dissolving organic materials either by wetdigestion or dry ashing. Solution that are
nondestructive or partially destroy thesample matrix.

1. Inorganic materials that dissolve inacids.Using strong mineral acids.
Example such as Hydrochloric acids,Perchloric acids and nitric acids.2. Inorganic materials that do not
dissolve in acids.
Using the acidic and basic flux in themolten state.Example such as acid-sodium carbonateflux.

Dissolving the Inorganic
materials (Acidic-basic flux) Sample is mixed with the flux in a sample toflux ratio of about 1 to 10 or 20.
The mixture is heated in an appropriatecrucible until the flux becomes molten. (Theinsoluble materials react with the flux toform a soluble products)
The reaction is considered complete as themelt becomes clear.
The cooled solid is then dissolved in diluteacid or water.

1. Wet Digestion
A method for decomposition of an organic
material, such as resins or fibers into an ashby treatment with a boiling oxidizing acid ormixture of acid.
The acids oxidize organic matter to carbondioxide, water and other volatile productswhich are driven off leaving behind the salts
or acids of the inorganic constituents.Chapter 4 47

2. Dry Ashing The sample is slowly combusted at a high
temperature (400C -700C) in a mufflefurnace.
Atmospheric oxygen serve as oxidant, that isorganic matter is burned off leaving theinorganic residue, that is soluble in acid.
Example
Hydrochloric acid, nitric acid or aqua regia (3:1)dissolve many inorganic substances.HF acid decompose silicates.Perchloric acid is used to break up organiccomplexes.

1. Wet DigestionPriciple of wet digestion (wet ashing)
Usually use combination of acids to achieve acomplete dissolution.
A small amount (5 mL) of H2SO4 is used withlarger volumes of HNO3 (20 to 30 mL).
Usually performed in a Kjeldahlflask.
HNO3 destroys the bulk of organic matter,but it does not get strong enough to destroythe last traces.

It is boiled off during the digestion processuntil only H2SO4 remains and dense, white SO3fumes are evolved and begin to reflux in theflask.
At this point, the solution gets very hot, H2SO4acts on the remaining organic material.
If the organic matter persists, more HNO3may added.
Digestion is continued until the solution clears. All digestion procedures must be performed in a
fume hood.

2. Simple Dry Ashing Most commonly employed techniques is simple dry
ashing whereby there is no chemical aids involved. A porcelain crucible can be used usually.
Trace analysis of Pb, Zn, Co, Cr, Mo, Sr, Fe used thesimple dry ashing method since there is little loss
by retention and volatilization during analysis.
Example:
lead is volatilized at temperature more than 500c,
especially if chlorine if present (blood and urinesamples). The crucible are preferred for lead forminimal retention losses. If an oxidizing material(Mg (NO3)2 is added to sample, the ashing
efficiency is enhanced. Chapter 4 54

2. Dry Ashing
If the sample are liquids and wet tissuesa. The sample are dried on a stream bath
or by gentle heat before they areplaced in a muffle furnace.
b. The heat from the furnace should beapplied gradually up to fullTemperature to prevent rapid

Primary StandardDefinition
A compound of highest purity and it is used to determine,
directly or indirectly, the concentration of the standardsolution for a titration.
Ideal primary standards for volumetric titration should have thefollowing characteristics:
i. Highest purity, up to 99.99% (0.01 to 0.02% impurity).
ii. Stability, the substance should stable at room conditions orduring heating and does not react with constituents of theatmosphere.
iii. Free from hydrated water and should be non-hygroscopic.iv. Soluble in titration medium.
v. High formula weight to minimize weighing errors.
vi. Easily available at reasonable cost

Why HCl or NaOH can not be the primary standard?
A primary standard should essentially available in pure form ,stable towards light and heat and react in a stoichiometric
proportion. HCl is a gas which is dissolved in water to form the solution.
The concentration expressed is very approximate so its not aprimary standard.
The exact concentration of any hydrochloric acid solution is notknown, unless it is prepared from standard ampoules. Laboratorygrade hydrochloric acid is not sufficiently pure
Ampoule is small sealed vial which is used to contain and preserve asample, usually a solid or liquid. Ampoules are commonly
made of glass, although plastic ampoules do exist.
NaOH cannot be weighed in open air because it is
highly hygroscopic.

Secondary Standard
A less pure substance whose composition is
reliably known. The purity or the concentration of a
secondary standard must be established by
careful stoichiometric analysis, usuallyagainst a primary standard.
Examples: HCl, HNO3, NaOH, KMnO4,
AgNO3, KOH, Ba(OH)2 ,HClO4,Sulfamic Acid(HSO3NH2), Na2S2O3,Ce(HSO4)4 ,H2SO4, andNH3(g)

Stock Solution
Is a large volume of common reagent, such as HCl or NaOH
at a standardized concentration. As a concentrate that is a solution to be diluted to some
lower concentration for actual use.
This term is commonly used in analytical chemistry for
titration procedures where it is important that exactconcentrations of solutions are used.
Many laboratory chemicals such as acids are purchased asconcentrated solution (stock solution). Eg : 12 M HCl, 18 M
H2SO4
More dilute solutions are prepared by taking certain quantityof the stock solution and diluting it with water

DilutionDilution
a process of changing the concentration of asolution from high to low.
Involves distributing a fixed amount of solute into alarger volume of solvent. Amount of solute remain the
same (n1 = n2) during the process.Volume changes from (V1 to V2).Addition of solvent do not change amount of solute inthe solution but only change the Molarity of thesolution.
Formula of dilution isM1V1 = M2V2
1 indicate as initial while 2 indicated as new or final.
