Chapter 10, Problem 10.2QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
For multi element analysis, the reason for ICP source atomic emission methods to be preferred over flame atomic absorption methods needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The temperatures required to excite various elements are different. The process/equipment for each element may, therefore be different and has to be selected for optimum results.
