Test 3 Flashcards

1
Q

time spectrum vs space spectrum

A

both can be described by a frequency which corresponds to a wavelength of photons, and a specific amplitude also correlated to that wavelength. difference: time is expressed as a function of time, space uses a function of retardation as a measure of space, and time domain can be described by a higher frequency and therefore shorter tau than space domain

106
Q

spectral interference

A

very close interference that cannot be resolved with the peak of the analyte

107

110
Q

plasma advantages over flame

high temp, versatile for many elements at just 1 temp setting while flame must be adjusted, works for very low conc of compounds that can take high heat and form refractory compounds, and works for nonmetals, also doesnt ionize much bc of the e- in the plasma

arc is low temp (4000) and has atomic lines, spark is very high (40000) and has ionic lines

112

124
Q

excitation for as

A

for flour it is wavelength, for AES it is thermal

125
Q

k and l emission lines

A

When an electron beam source collides with atoms in a sample, the incoming electron is decelerated and X-ray
energy is produced. Only atomic number atoms larger than 23 produce K and L emission lines; smaller ones
produce only the K series. K series spectral lines are produced when the high-energy electrons from the
cathode remove electrons from those orbitals nearest the nucleus of the target atom. As the outer orbital
electrons relax to replace the missing electron, X-ray radiation is given off. L series lines come when the
electron initially lost is from the second principal quantum level orbital.

126
Q

A

can add them to use the weight fraction of a molecule ie double it for % of N2, calculate u for a solvent like ethanol by adding the weight % and u of each (meta-math)

127
Q

atomic emission vs atomic fluor

A

Similarities: Both use wavelength selectors after sample; line widths from broadening effects; quantitatively determine elemental intensity; photon generated during excited -> ground state transition
AES: ICP/flame/etc. thermally excites the sample; more popular than AFS
AFS: wavelength source for excitation; smaller useful concentration range, but for some elements like Hg lower LODs can be determined; measured at 90° from source path; for environmental samples; lamp sources
