Question

what is exact defination of qualitative and quantitative analysis?

Answer 1

Quantitative analysis refers to the determination of how much of a given component is present in a sample. The quantity may be expressed in terms of mass, concentration, or relative abundance of one or all components of a sample.

Qualitative analysis tells 'what' is in a sample, while quantitative analysis is used to tell 'how much' is in a sample

Answer 2

Hi! Have a look at the definitions of qualitative and quantitative analysis.

The analysis, which includes various steps to determine the elements present in a particular compound is known as qualitative analysis.

On the other hand, the percentage of each element in the compound is known as quantitative analysis.

Cheers!
