Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for atomic emission to be more sensitive to flame instability than atomic absorption or fluorescence needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Spectral lines help in identifying the atoms and molecules. These are a result of absorption or emission of light in a comparatively narrower frequency range as compared to the frequencies nearby.

Fluorescence is the process by which a substance absorbing electromagnetic radiation emits light.

In a defined space, the amount of a substance gives its concentration. A capacity of substance to absorb specific wavelength light gives its absorbance.

Why is fluorescence generally more sensitive than absorption measurements?
True or False: Emission spectroscopy can be used toidentify the components of paint’s pigments
The levels of Vitamin B1 in a sample of milk was determined using the Standard Addition method and technique of fluorescence spectroscopy. 18.0 ml of the milk sample was diluted to 20.0 ml using distilled water and then the fluorescence was measured. The resulting signal was 210 units. A spike was made by taking 18.0 ml of the same milk sample, adding 1.0 ml of a 6.0 ppm Vitamin B1 standard solution, and then diluting to 20.0 ml using distilled water. The signal of the spiked milk was 540 units. Calculate the concentration of Vitamin B1 in the original milk sample (in ppm). Report to 3 decimal places.
