First, you may desire to understand if it rather is an organic and organic and organic and organic or inorganic substance so which you will burn it. organic and organic and organic and organic aspects will burn and bypass away carbon at the back of. now if it rather is organic and organic and organic and organic you may desire to upload small volume of it to molten sodium and then therapy the top carry forth water. a chain of uncomplicated exams which you will detect in any chemistry e book will grant you with the experimental formula. then you extremely extremely could desire to degree the molecular weight and using it calculate the molecular formula. ( Mass spectroscopy can do a similar in spite of if it rather is costly) having the molecular formula you in straightforward words prefer "IR" and "H1 NMR" and "C13 NMR" spectra to tell the form in 89% of circumstances.(for added complicated aspects like polymers or proteins you may desire to word 2d or possibly 3-d NMR) inorganic aspects are plenty plenty much less complicated. purely use the methods in any analytical chemistry e book (like : recommendations of instrumental prognosis by way of Skoog,Holler,Nieman (all of them!)
