Chemical Analysis Methods

noun a method of determining the strength of acetic acid in a solution by titration with a standard solution of alkali

• Acetimetry is a precise analytical method used in chemistry to determine the concentration of acetic acid in a solution.
• I learned about acetimetry in my chemistry class, it's all about measuring acetic acid.
• I have to do some acetimetry for my lab report, it's a real pain.
• In a way, acetimetry is like measuring the 'sourness' of a solution, just like tasting vinegar.

noun the study or analysis of the activation of certain brain regions

• Activation analysis is a technique used in nuclear chemistry to determine the concentration of elements in a sample.
• I had to do activation analysis in my chemistry lab to figure out what was in the mystery solution.
• I'm so over activation analysis, it's such a pain to do all those calculations.
• In a way, activation analysis is like detective work for chemists, trying to uncover the hidden elements in a sample.
