Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is a quantitative method for determining trace elements in liquid samples. ICP-OES and other methods of spectrochemical analysis are typically subject to errors due to the present of interferences. It had been reported that ICP-OES is significantly affected by spectral interference, but relatively less affected by the chemical interferences. (i) Explain why ICP-OES is significantly affected by spectral interference but less affected by chemical interferences.

6 Why standard solutions are used in Atomic absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) whereas UV-Vis molecular absorbance only extinction coefficient is necessary?
Inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used for the determination of cadmium using indium as an internal standard. A solution containing 2.15 ppm Cd2+ and 5.76 ppm In3+ gave signals of 19,291 and 37,190 counts for cadmium and indium, respectively. A 0.01652 g sample was dissolved in acid and quantitatively transferred to a 250.0 mL volumetric flask. A 1.00 mL aliquot of 264.5 ppm In3+ was added and the flask was diluted to volume with deionized water. ICP-OES analysis of the sample solution gave signals of 31,109 and 118,941 counts for cadmium and indium, respectively. What was concentration of the Cd2+ in the sample?

Potassium dichromate and potassium permanganate have overlapping absorptionspectra in 1M H2SO4 . K2Cr2O7 has an absorption maxima at 440 nm, and KMnO 4 has a band at 545nm (the maximum is actually at 525 nm, but the longer wavelength is generally used whereinterference from K2C2O7 is less). A mixture is analyzed by measuring the absorbance at these twowavelengths with the following results: A 440 =0.405, A 545 =0.712 in a 1-cm cell. The absorbances ofpure solutions of K2Cr2O7 (1x10 -3 M) and KMnO 4 (2.00x10 -4 M) in 1 M H 2 SO 4 , using the same cell gavethe following results: A Cr,440 = 0.374, A Cr,545 = 0.009, A Mn,440 =0.019, A Mn,545 = 0.475. Calculate theconcentrations of dichromate and permanganate in the sample solution.

A Dubosq colorimeter consists of a cell of fixed path length and a cell of variable path length. By adjusting the length of the latter until the transmission through the two cells is the same. the concentration of the second solution can be inferred from that of the former. Suppose that a plantdye of concentration 25 μg dm-3 is added to the fixed cell. the length of which is 1.55 em. Then a solution of the same dye. but of unknown concentration. is added to the second cel l. It is found that the same t ransmittance is obtained when the length of the second cel l is adjusted to 1.18 em. What is the concentration of the second solution?

5.4.5 Chemical microanalysis5.4.5.1 Exploitation of characteristic X-raysElectron probe microanalysis (EPMA) of bulk samples is now a routine technique for obtaining rapid, accurate analysis of alloys. A small electron probe (100 nm diameter) is used to generate X-rays from a defined area of a polished specimen and the intensity of the various characteristic X-rays measured usingeither wavelength-dispersive spectrometers (WDS) or energy-dispersive spectrometers (EDS). Typically the accuracy of the analysis is š0.1%. One of the limitations of EPMA of bulk samples is that the volume of the sample which contributes to the X-ray signal is relatively independent of the size of theelectron probe, because high-angle elastic scattering of electrons within the sample generates X-rays. The consequence of this is that the spatial resolution of EPMA is no better than ¾2 µm. In the last few years EDX detectors have been interfaced totransmission electron microscopes which are capable of operating…
