A solution was prepared by mixing 5.00mL of unknown quantities of arsenic with 2.00mL of solution containing 4.13ug of standard antimony per milliliter and diluting to 10mL. The measured signal of the arsenic was 0.8001 and of the antimony was 0.9902 in the samples measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. In a separate experiment, it was found that for equal concentrations of arsenic and antimony (2.75ug/mL respectively), arsenic gave a signal of 0.795 and antimony gave a signal of 0.607. What is the concentration of arsenic in the unknown?

Explain why an internal standard is required during sample preparation in quantitative analysis when using atomic spectroscopy?
What is the concentration of a sample that transmits 70% signal at a certain wavelength upon analysis? The molar absorptivity is 2.0 and the cuvette used has a width of 1.0 cm. Additionally, (a) What is the absorbance of the sample at this wavelength? b) And what is the fraction of light that would be transmitted by the sample if the concentration is increased three times?
An atomic spectrometer distinguishes the two lines of the Na doublet, which appear at 589.0 and 589.6 nm. For the first it measures a relative intensity of 456; and for the second an intensity of 225. Approximately, indicate the minimum resolving power of the spectrometer in that wavelength region.
For the following mass spectra determine: presence or absence of Cl and Br, molecular weight, of it is consistent with an odd number or zero/even number of N atoms, parent peak, base peak.
Explain the principal work of atomic absorption spectroscopy? And how is it used for the determination of unknown heavy metals and other metals concentrations?
The absorption coefficient of rhodopsin at 496 nm is 40,000 M-1cm-1. If you have a 1M solution of rhodopsin, how many times will you dilute the solution so that the diluted solution will give you an absorption reading at 496 nm that is in the range of 0.1-1.0. And what will be the absorption by the diluted solution?
A student calibrated the mini-spectrophotometer with a blank solution, and then went to check their solution. They got a fingerprint on the cuvette while filling it. Because of this, the expected reading for the absorbance would be too high which would cause the calculated value of K, to be too high
A student obtained a sample impure ASA sample. He hydrolyzed the ASA with NaOH and heated the mixture to produce the salicylate dianion: C6H4 (OCOCH3) (COOH) + 3OH- → C6H4 (0) (COO) + 2 H₂O + CH3COO Next the student then acidified the mixture with FeCl3-KCI-HCI solution to produce the magenta complex of tetraaquosalicylatoiron (III) ion: C6H4 (0) (COO) + H3O+ C6H4 (OH) (COO-) + H₂O 3+ C6H4 (OH) (COO) + Fe(H₂O) ³+ [C6H4 (O) (COO) Fe(H₂O)] ++ H₂O + H₂O*
