Question

differentiate between physical and analytical chemistry

Answer 1

PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY:

1. Physical chemistry is the branch of chemistry which deals with interactions and transformations of materials.

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY:

1. Analytical chemistry deals with methods for determining the chemical composition of samples.

Answer 2

Answer:

Physical chemistry is the study of concepts and chemical mechanisms while analytical chemistry deals with instruments and their uses.

Explanation:

In Physical chemistry chemists study a wide array of topics such as the rates of reactions (kinetics), how electrons are arranged in atoms and molecules (quantum mechanics), the way that light and matter interact (spectroscopy),  and the stabilities and reactivities of different compounds and processes (thermodynamics).

Whereas, in Analytical chemistry focusses on uses of instruments and methods used to separate, identify, and quantify matter.
