Analytical chemistry acts as a foundation for other branches of chemistry. In fact, the science of chemistry came into existence as a result of human inquisitiveness to understand the nature of an extraordinary variety of matter that surrounded him, and this knowledge was obtained by analysing different types of material. Elemental analysis deals with the detection and determination of various elements present in a compound. Functional group analysis involves the determination of certain groupings of atoms such as carboxyl group (-COOH) or hydroxyl group (-OH) in an organic material.
