Question
Case Study 1: Recently, our research group in
the Department have developed a simple,
quick and portable analytical method for the
detection of Pb2+ (a toxic heavy metal) in
aqueous solutions. It is based on the
fluorescent properties of the nanomaterials
known as carbon quantum dots (CQD). These
nanomaterials are highly soluble in water and
in aqueous solutions, they emit blue-green
light when irradiated with an ultraviolet light
(from a UV lamp or laser diode). In the
presence of Pb²+, the intensity of the light
emitted by CQD decreases, and the decrease
of intensity of fluorescence is related to the
concentration of Pb²+. In this method, the
intensity of emitted light is measured by taking
a photograph of the fluorescent test sample
using a smartphone camera (Iphone 8) and
then determining using an image analysis
software the value of image pixel variables
that are related to the intensity of the
blue-green light emitted by the sample.
10) Research on how a digital camera (such as
in smartphone) works, particularly, how it can
record an image in a pixel. Using the concepts
and principles that you've learned, concisely
discuss how the smartphone camera is used in
theinstrumental method described in Case
Study 1. Specifically, describe how it can be
used to obtain the desired chemical
information about the analyte.
