17
Q

What is an instrumental method?

A

Use of scientific technology to perform chemical analysis

18
Q

What are the three advantages of instrumental methods?

A

They are accurate (gives correct results), sensitive (only needs a small sample to work), rapid (a lot faster than other tests)

19
Q

What is flame emission spectroscopy?

A

An instrumental analysis tool for identifying metal ions

20
Q

How is flame emissions spectroscopy carried out?

A

Sample placed in a flame, light emitted is passed through a spectroscope to give a spectrum which can be compared to a reference
