Chapter 27, Problem 27.5QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The difference between concentration-sensitive and mass-sensitive detector is to be stated and whether the thermal conductivity detector is mass or concentration sensitive.

Concept introduction:

Thermal conductivity can be defined as the ability of a material to conduct heat.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the atomic emission detector is mass or concentration sensitive.

.

Concept introduction:

Atomic emission occurs when an atom emits some specific wavelengths.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Whether the thermionic detector is mass or concentration sensitive.

Concept introduction:

Thermionic emissions occur when electrons are excited from a heated source.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Whether the electron captive detector is mass or concentration sensitive.

Concept introduction:

The electron capture is the process of making unstable atoms more stable.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

Whether the flame photometric detector is mass or concentration sensitive.

Concept introduction:

Flame photometry is utilized for inorganic chemical analysis. It can detect the concentration of some metals like lithium, sodium, calcium and more.

Interpretation Introduction

(f)

Interpretation:

Whether the flame ionization detector is mass or concentration sensitive.

Concept introduction:

Flame ionization detection is a device used to measure the analyte in a gas flow.
