Study Notes
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)
- AAS detects and measures the concentration of elements in samples.
- The analyte in a sample must convert into a vapor state for detection by AAS.
- AAS measures the absorbance of light by atoms in the sample to estimate the concentration of an element in a solution.
- The lecture introduces three components of AAS: a light source, an atomizer, and a detector.
- In AAS, ground-state atoms absorb specific radiation.
- The main purpose of AAS is to detect and measure the concentration of elements in samples.
- The principle of AAS is based on the fact that ground-state atoms absorb specific radiation, and the amount of radiation absorbed is directly proportional to the concentration of the element.
- The three components of AAS introduced in the lecture are a light source, an atomizer, and a detector.
- The significance of the analyte in a sample converting into a vapor state for detection by AAS is that it allows the atoms to absorb specific radiation.
- AAS is a reliable and easy-to-use technique for detecting and measuring the concentration of elements in samples.
