Chemical Analysis of Gulf of Mexico

It is important to analysis analyte present in sea water aftermath of the oil spill. Thisis due to nd out ways to separate the oil constituent. Before nding the way toseparate this, rst we have to determine the type of constituent mixed up in seas

aftermath of oil spill. This is where analytical chemistry had to play part indetermining constituent that’s harmful for nature. The problem statement on thisissue is nding a sample and nding correct matrix to analyte.

According to several websites nding, there have been mass nding of aluminiumand iron in the ulf of !exico had been determined. "mall number of samples ofoily tar balls, debris, mousse oil and other petroleum waste products that havewashed up on the shore or were present on the surface of the water along the ulf#oast were analysed. This shows that covering $.% million cubic meter of the oceansurface due to oil spill may have largely a&ected a'uatic life. This samples havebeen analysed by multi agency on determining the constituent and getting accurate
