Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference01:25

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference

Interference leads to systematic error in atomic absorption (AA) measurements by enhancing or diminishing the analytical signal or the background. These interferences can be grouped into three main categories: spectral interference, chemical interference, and physical interference.
Spectral interference occurs when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, falsely elevating or masking the analyte's absorbance. This interference can be corrected using Zeeman,...

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Interferences01:20

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Interferences

Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS) is a highly selective and sensitive technique for accurate elemental analysis. Though the analysis of ICP–MS mass spectra is comparatively straightforward, it is affected by spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic interferences. Spectroscopic interferences arise when the plasma contains ionic species with an m/z value the same as the analyte ion. Spectroscopic interference can be categorized as isobaric, polyatomic ions, and...

Radioactive Decay and Radiometric Dating02:48

Radioactive Decay and Radiometric Dating

Radioactivity is a spontaneous disintegration of an unstable nuclide and is a random process, as all the nuclei in the sample do not decay simultaneously. The number of disintegrations per unit time is called the activity (A), which is directly proportional to the number of nuclei in the sample. The decay constant (λ) is an average probability of decay per nucleus in unit time.

Radiometric Dating

Radiometric DatingRadiometric dating is a scientific method used to determine the age of rocks, fossils, and ancient materials by measuring the decay of radioactive isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Some isotopes are unstable and undergo radioactive decay, transforming into a different element over time. This transformation occurs at a predictable rate, known as a half-life, which is the time it takes for half of a radioactive substance to...

Radioactive Decay as a Measure of Age

Radioactive Decay As A Measure Of AgeAtoms of the same element always have the same number of protons, but the number of neutrons can vary. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.For example, carbon has three common isotopes:Carbon-12 (6 protons, 6 neutrons)Carbon-13 (6 protons, 7 neutrons)Carbon-14 (6 protons, 8 neutrons)While carbon-12 and carbon-13 are stable, carbon-14 is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay, transforming into a different...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Lab

For AAS measurements, samples must be introduced as clear solutions, often requiring extensive preliminary treatment to dissolve materials like soils, animal tissues, and minerals. Common methods for sample preparation include treatment with hot mineral acids, wet ashing, combustion in closed containers, high-temperature ashing, or fusion with reagents.
 Solutions containing organic solvents, such as low-molecular-mass alcohols, esters, or ketones, enhance absorbances by increasing...
