PRINCIPLE:
the element is __________ in the flame but merely ____ from its chemical bond and placed in an __________. The atom, at a lower energy level, _________. The light source emits radiant energy to be absorbed by the element.

A

not excited
dissociated
unexcited state
absorbs light

20
Q

Measures the amount of light absorbed by ground state atom

A

ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROPHOTOMETRY (AAS)

21
Q

What light source does AAS use?
CLUE:
which produces a wavelength of light specific for the kind of metal in the cathode

A

hollow cathode lamp

22
Q

modulates light beam coming from the hollow cathode lamp

A

MECHANICAL ROTATING CHOPPER

23
Q

uses flame to dissociate the chemical bonds and form free, unexcited atoms

A

BURNER

24
Q

gases are mixed and the sample is atomized before entering the flame and the large droplets go to waste and not in the flame. It has less noisy signals with longer pathlength and greater absorption and sensitivity.

A

Pre-mix burner

25
Q

selects the desired wavelength from a spectrum of wavelength which could
either be a prism or a diffraction grating.

A

MONOCHROMATOR

26
Q

What type of detector does AAS use?

A

photomultiplier tubes

27
Q

energy emission that occurs when certain compounds absorb electromagnetic radiation, become excited and then return to an energy level that is usually slightly higher than their original level.

A

FLUORESCENCE

28
Q

What do FS use as a light source?

A

Hydrogen discharge lamp of xenon lamp

29
Q

isolates the ultraviolet light

A

Primary filter / Excitation filter

30
Q

isolates secondary emission (filter, prism or diffraction grating)

A

Secondary filter / Emission filter

31
Q

separation of a substance in a pure form and then determining its dry weight

A

32
Q

the unknown sample is made to react with a known solution (titrating agent) in the presence of an indicator

A
