Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) is a common technique used to determine chemical functional groups of unknown molecule. For liquid samples, a drop of sample is placed between a pair of ionic solid pressed disks made from NaCl or KBr. Briefly explain why are sample holders for IR absorbance experiments often made from ionic solid pressed disks instead of glass vials

UV absorption detectors can also be used in ion chromatography for the measurement of ions such as nitrite and nitrate but cannot be used to detect ions such as fluoride and chloride. Why? Select the correct response from the list below Nitrate and nitrite contain oxygen ions and as a result they absorb in the UV region of the spectrum. Fluoride and chloride do not contain any oxygen so don't absorb in the UV region Nitrate and nitrite contain N=N groups so they absorb in the UV region Fluoride and chloride do not contain any double bonds so don't absorb in the UV region Nitrate and nitrite contain chromophores and as a result they absorb in the UV region of the spectrum. Fluoride and chloride do not contain any chromophores so don't absorb in the UV region Nitrate and nitrite contain nitrogen ions and as a result they absorb in the UV region of the spectrum. Fluoride and chloride do not contain any nitrogen so don't absorb in the UV region
