Chapter 3, Problem 48AP
Look again at Figure 3.11. A patient is found to be suffering from heavy-metal poisoning, An emission spectrum is obtained from a sample of the patient's blood, by spraying a solution of the blood into a flame, The brightest emission lines are found at 5520, 5540, 5890, and 5900 Å. What two elements are likely to be present? Which one is more likely to be the culprit?
