Chapter 21: Q3 P (page 555)

Figure 21 - 10shows a temperature profile for a furnace atomic absorption experiment. Explain the purpose of each different part of the heating profile.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Drying, Ashing, and Atomization are the three heating profiles in the furnace atomic absorption experiment.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of atomic absorption.

Ground-state atoms of metals absorb light at extremely particular wavelengths matching to the energy required to trigger electronic transitions in their electron orbitals, a process known as atomic absorption.

02

The purpose of each different part of the heating profile.

Drying, Ashing, and Atomization are the three heating profiles in the furnace atomic absorption experiment.

The Drying process takes place at a temperature range of~20°C-100°C. Water is removed from the sample in this step.

The Ashing process takes place at a temperature range of ~100°C-500°C. Without evaporating the analyte, as much matrix as possible is removed from the sample.

Concentrations (pg per g of snow) of metals by atomic fluorescence in the Agassiz Ice Cap in Greenland for the period1988 - 1992are P38b,1.04(±0.17)×102;TI,0.087;Cd,3.5±0.87;Zn,1.74(±026)×102;andAl,6-1(±1-7)×103 . The mean annual snowfall was . Calculate the mean annual flux of each metal in units of ng/cm2. Flux means how much metal falls on eachcm2 .

Li was determined by atomic emission with the method of standard addition. Prepare a standard addition graph (Section 5 - 3) to find the concentration of Li and its uncertainty in pure unknown. The Listandard contained 1.62μgLi/mL.

Laser atomic fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of sodium in an air-acetylene flame are shown here. In the excitation spectrum, the laser (linewidth 5 0.03 nm) was scanned through various wavelengths, while the detector monochromator (bandwidth 5 1.6 nm) was held fixed near 589 nm. In the emission spectrum, the laser was fixed at 589.0 nm, and the detector monochromator wave-length was varied. Explain why the emission spectrum gives one broad band, whereas the excitation spectrum gives two sharp lines. How can the excitation linewidths be much narrower than the detector monochromator bandwidth?

Mn was used as an internal standard for measuring Fe by atomic absorption. A standard mixture containing 2.00μgMn/mLand2.50μgFe/mLgave a quotient (Fe signal/Mn signal) = 1.05 / 1.00. A mixture with a volume of 6.00 mLwas prepared by mixing 5.00 mLof unknown Fe solution with 1.00mLcontaining13.5μgMn/mL. The absorbance of this mixture at the Mn wavelength was 0.128, and the absorbance at the Fe wavelength was 0.185. Find the molarity of the unknown Fe solution.

(a) Explain the purpose of the dynamic reaction cell in Figure 21-30. (b) In geologic strontium isotopic analysis, there is isobaric interference betweenRb+87andSr+87. A dynamic reaction cell with CH3F convertsSr+87to SrF+but does not convert Rb+87toRbF+87 . How does this reaction eliminate interference?
