ANALYTICAL METHODS [FEP AND AAS] Flashcards
This type of photometry measures the light emitted by a single atom nurned in a flame.
Flame Emission Photometry
What is the principle behind the FEP?
Electron excitation from low to high energy.
What is the light source in FEP and what additional component does it serve as?
Flame, serves as the cuvette.
What kind of photodetector is used in FEP?
Barrier Layer Cell
What is the internal standard used in FEP, and what is the reason for its use?
Lithium or Cesium, used in order to correct variations.
What is the method used in FEP?
Indirect Internal Standard Method
This photometry is mainly used to measure the excitement of ions such as Na and K.
Flame Emission Photometry
This spectrophotometry measures the light absorbed by atoms dissociated by heat.
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry
Explain the principle observed in AAS.
The element is not excited, but dissociated from the chemical bond, unionized, and grounded.
What is the light source used for the AAS?
Hollow Cathode or Electrodeless Dishcarge Lamp
What is the monochromator used for the AAS?
Diffraction Gratings and Prims
What is the photodetector used in AAS?
PM Tube
What are the possible interferences AAS can have?
Chemical, Matrix, and Ionization
What are the unexcited trace metals being measured in AAS?
Ca and Mg
What is the reason why AAS is better than FEP?
More sensitive, accurate, precise, and specific.
Just more sensitive is enough.
