chemical analysis
Laboratory composition testing
Chemical analysis is the process of determining what substances are present in a sample and in what quantities.
Qualitative analysis identifies components; quantitative analysis measures how much of each exists.
The term covers techniques from simple litmus tests to sophisticated spectroscopy: The chemical analysis revealed traces of arsenic in the soil.
