analytical technique Flashcards
what is Mass spectrometry?
Mass spectrometry is a technique that can be used to determine the specific identity and amount of atoms or molecules in a sample of material. In particular it can determine the isotopic composition of an element.

what is absorption spectrometry?
uses the unique energy emitted by atoms to determine the elements
is it true that as the electron gains energy and drops a electron shell?
false
what is atomic absorption spectroscopy?
Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is a modified version of absorption spectroscopy that can also be used to perform qualitative analysis to find the amount of an element present.
what is the formula to calculate the relative atomic mass?
(relative isotope mass x %abundance)/100
what is the formula to solve an unknown relative atomic mass with the a graph with relative abundance % and m/z
((mass x %abundance) for all lines )/100
