Elemental analysis is a process where a sample of some material e.g., soil, waste or drinking water, bodily fluids, minerals , chemical compound s is analyzed for its chemical element elemental and sometimes isotope isotopic composition. Elemental analysis can be qualitative determining what elements are present , and it can be quantitative determining how much of each are present . Elemental analysis falls within the ambit of analytical chemistry , the set of instruments involved in deciphering the chemical nature of our world. For organic chemists, elemental analysis or EA almost always refers to CHNX analysis the determination of the mass fraction chemistry mass fractions of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and heteroatoms X halogens, sulfur of a sample. This information is important to help determine the structure of an unknown compound, as well as to help ascertain the structure and purity of a synthesized compound. Methods The most common form of elemental analysis, CHN analysis, is accomplished by combustion analysis . In this technique, a sample is burned in an excess of oxygen, and various traps collect the combustion products carbon dioxide, water, and nitric oxide. The masses of these combustion products can be used to calculate the composition of the unknown sample. Quantitative Quantitative analysis is the determination of the mass of each element or compound present ref From Columbia Encyclopedia on answers.com http www.answers.com library Columbia Encyclopedia cid 2284496 chemical analysis ref .

Such analysis relies on a high degree of Accuracy and precision precision in three measurements weight, temperature, and temperature change. As many weight loss curves look similar, the weight loss curve may require transformation before results may be interpreted. A derivative weight loss curve can identify the point where weight loss is most apparent. Again, interpretation is limited without further modifications and deconvolution of the overlapping peaks may be required. To determine composition and purity one must take the mass of the substance in the mixture by using thermal gravimetric analysis.
