The Availability Heuristic

A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Coordination Chemistry

Context:

  • Cyanide detection is crucial for environmental monitoring and industrial safety.
  • Existing methods for cyanide determination may have limitations in sensitivity or selectivity.

Purpose:

  • To develop a sensitive and precise method for cyanide ion determination.
  • To utilize the reaction between cyanide ions and a specific iron complex for quantitative analysis.

Summary:

  • Cyanide ions react with tris(bathophenanthroline)iron(II) complex, [Fe(bathophenanthroline)(3)](2+), in aqueous solution.
  • This reaction forms a strongly colored, chloroform-extractable mixed-ligand complex, [Fe(bathophenanthroline)(2)(CN)(2)].
  • The color intensity of the extracted complex allows for sensitive and precise quantification of cyanide.
