- What are the parameters that can be used for analytes identification and quantification using Cyclic Voltammetry, respectively?arrow_forwardIf you are setting up a standard curve using a UV spectrophotometer and a set of standards, and your unknown sample gives an absorbance value higher than your most concentrated standard. What would need to be done to accurately calculate the unknown sample concentration? I humble request to you please give the answer within 1 hrs so that I do my work.arrow_forward10.Which of the following statements regarding double beam spectrophotometers is NOT true? Why? a.The reference beam allows for automatic correction for source intensity fluctuations. b. Comparison of the power emerging from the sample and reference beams determines absorbance and transmittance. c. The reference beam allows for automatic correction for detector drift d. The reference beam is created using a stationary mirror. e. The reference beam is created using a rotating mirror.arrow_forward
- which of the following statements is incorrect? A. a conventional mass spectrometer does not use a spectrophotometric detectorB. a conventional mass spectrometer does not always require high purity samplesC. a mass spectrum shows no signals due to uncharged speciesD. a conventional mass spectrometer uses high energy UV radiationarrow_forwardwhat would be the shift and coupling constants of these peaks measured by a 300MHz spectrophotometer? include unitsarrow_forwardHow a UV-Vis spectrophotometer can be used in analyzing a colorless sample?

- Maria was tasked to determine the concentration of a Fe2(SO4)3 solution. She prepared 5 different standards of Fe2(SO4)3 using the table below as her guide. She ran the standards and the unknown solution through UV-VIS spectroscopy and recorded the absorbances of each solution. HINT: use the dilution equation to determine the concentration of Fe2(SO4)3 in each test tube before preparing the standard curve. NOTE: No need to force the line to pass through zero. Just graph the data as is. What is the slope of the line of the standard curve from the given data? What is the concentration of the unknown solution?arrow_forwardAs a forensic toxicologist, you have been given a task on determining amount of cadmium, mercury, chromium, copper and lead metal contents in medicinal herbs using flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Hollow cathode lamp (HCL) was selected as radiation source for this analysis. The highest concentration came from lead element followed by chromium and copper, however cadmium and mercury were not detected in the sample. a) Based on your knowledge, conclude whether the above result is valid or not. b) If you are given an option of electrothermal or flame atomizer for above case study, determine which one is suitable and justify your answer.arrow_forwardThe logarithm of the molar absorptivity of acetone in ethanol is 2.75 to 366 nm. Calculate the range of acetone concentrations that can be worked on if The transmittance percentage must be greater than 10% and less than 90% %, measured in a cell with an optical pitch of 1.50 cm.arrow_forward
- Standard solutions of a chemical species with different concentrations are analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The absorbance values obtained are plotted against concentration and the slope of the drawn calibration line is calculated as 55400. Since a 0.5 cm cuvette is used in this analysis, calculate the molar absorptivity coefficient of the analyzed species.arrow_forwardInductively 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? Give answer all questions with explanationarrow_forwardDescribe the origin of shot noise in a spectrophotometer. How does the relativeuncertainty vary with concentration if shot noise is the major noise source?arrow_forward
