Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The thickness of the polystyrene film should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The path length is a distance travelled by the light through a sample of analytical cell. It is used in the infrared spectroscopy. The path length can change the sample absorbance without changing the concentration of the sample.

The wave number is also used to calculate the path length of cell. The wave is reciprocal of wavelength of absorption. It is number of wave per unit distance.

Identify each signal showed in the spectra for both C3H6O2 and C4H10O. Determine the multiplicity and integrity for each signal.
The absorbance of a mixture containing compounds A and B was to have an absorbance of 0.24 at 250 nm and 0.965 at 375 nm using a cell with a pathlength of 1 cm. The molar absorptivity of A and B at the wavelengths are given in the table (M-1cm-1 or mol-1 L cm-1). Sample & @250 nm & @375 nm 850 2000 500 2400 Determine the concentration of each compound. A B
The concentration of Na* in the sea water sample was determined with atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS). 35.00 mL of the sea water sample produce an AFS signal of 0.425. Then, 5.00 mL of 0.00215 M Nat standard were added to another 35.00 mL of the sea water sample, and this spiked sample gives an AFS signal of 0.724. What would be the concentration of Na* in the sea water sample? 0.0268 M 0.00753 M 0.0109 M 0.587 M 0.00324 M
