this converts ions into atoms

A

Atomizer/Nebulizer/Graphite Furnace

140
Q

ADDITIONAL PARTS OF THE AAS

→ modulates and controls the light source

A

Chopper

141
Q

ADDITIONAL PARTS OF THE AAS

→ added to samples to form stable complexes with phosphate
→ this reduces interferences because of the chemical bond created with phosphate

A

Anthanum/Strontium Chloride

Q

VOLUMETRIC (TITRIMETRIC)

A. It determines the amount of scattered light by a particulate matter suspended in a turbid solution
B. It determines the amount of light blocked (how much light is reduced) by a particulate matter in a turbid solution
C. The unknown sample is made to react with a known solution is the presence of an indicator

A

C

A

A

149
Q

NEPHELOMETRY

TOF. Light scattering is dependent on the specimen concentration and particle size.

A

F (that’s for turbidimetry, nephelometry is dependent on the wavelength and particle size)

150

D. detector (PMT) output is inversely proportional to the concentration

A

D

151
