PRINCIPLE Flashcards
Is an analytical technique that measures the concentrations of elements. It makes use of the absorption of light by these element in order to measure their concentration
ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY
It quantifies the absorption of ground state in the gaseous state.
ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY
The atoms absorb ultraviolet of visible light and make transitions to higher electronic energy levels. The analyte concentration is determined from the amount of absorption.
ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY
Is a very common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in environmental samples.
ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY
4 principle components of atomic absorption spectrometer
LIGHT SOURCE (USUALLU A HOLLOW CATHODE LAMP)
AN ATOM CELL ( ATOMIZER)
MONOCHROMATOR
DETECTOR, READ OUR DEVICE
It is usually a hollow cathode lamp of the element that is being measured.
LIGHT SOURCE
A light source contains a _____ and a _____ made of the element to be determined.
TUNGSTED ANODE
HOLLOW CYLINDRICAL CATHODE
The light source is sealed in a glass tube filled with an _______.
INERT GAS (NEON OR ARGON)
To be analyzed needs to be in atomic sate.
ELEMENTS
In separation of particles into individual molecules and breaking molecules into atom.
ATOMIZATION
This is done by exposing the analyte to high temperature in a flame or graphite furnace.
ATOMIZATION
This dissolvate a liquid sample and then the solid particles are vaporized into their free gaseous ground state form.
ATOM CELL
Two types of atomization:
FLAME AND GRAPHITE FURNACE ATOMIZATION
Gas/Air
1700-1900
Gas/O2
2700-2800
