Mass Spectrometry

This process is an instrumental method in which a sample is changed to fast moving positive ions by electron bombardment. The charged particles vary due to their different mass to charge ratio and are estimated with the help of this difference. It is also called mass spectroscopy.

Absorbance measurements were taken on a series of Fe standards complexed with 1,10-phenanthroline. A plot of absorbance vs. concentration yielded a linear curve with the equation y=1.008e03x + 0.0395 (where y is the absorbance and x represents the Fe concentration in moles/L). Using this information calculate the Fe concentration (in ppm) in a 40.0-mL aliquot of ground water that produced an absorbance of 0.580.
