Flame Atomic AbsorptionIn the gas phase, atomic species will absorb light.
General steps:1. M(ABC) M(XYZ) (aq) M (g)2. Perform spectroscopy on M (g)

Flame AAFlame atomizes most molecular species
Cu(NO3)2 Cu + NO + NO2 +…
Cu in gas phase will absorb light according to Beer’s LawA = aλbc; b = length of flame, c = concentration of vapour in
flame
Wavelength of absorption depends on the electronic structure of the atomic species (here Cu vapour)
Use light source of appropriate wavelength for species being measured.
Generate calibration curve and off you go, but…

But…In many methods, the matrix can have significant effects on instrument
response.This sample matrix has…
Cu, Ni, excess acid, other unknown elementsDifficult to reproduce and duplicate
Problem:How to account for matrix we cannot reproduce?!?

1. Add SAME known volume of unknown (U) to each vial
2. Add increasing SMALL volumes of standard (S) to each vial
Volume of standard must be << Volume of sample.
Std must be >> concentration of sample

General notes:• Prepare stock standard (1.2 to 1.4 mg/mL) and unknown
solutions (both in 100 mL). • Pipet 10 mL of unknown into 5×50 mL flasks.• Pipet different amounts of standard to each flask (0, 50,
100, 150, 200 µL). Use 50 µL micropipet
• Calibrate the micropipet ahead of time per the instructions on page 46. (The time consuming step)
• Record Pipet number and save the pipet tip!
• No data printout, so you need to write down all the numbers
9
Calibration Curves• In 211 used replicate
standards of the same concentration to standardize the titrant.
• With instruments, response is
measured for several concentrations and a calibration curve is developed.
• The concentration of an unknown is determined from the curve.

Graphical Method (plot by hand)• Advantage: By visually inspecting the data, it becomes
obvious if the data fall on a line. • Disadvantages:
– Line is drawn by “eye” subjective process, imprecise – Difficult to read graph to less than a few parts per thousand.

Method of Least Squares• Advantage: Method is objective and without systematic
bias. – Results are usually chosen from this over graphical
• Disadvantage: Method is accurate only if the data truly fall on a straight line. – The method itself does not discard points. – Always compare the least squares results with those
from the graphical method.
• Note: Do NOT simply use the “add trendline” function in Excel. It includes all data points, does not allow for error calculation.

Least Squares Fit
Least squares – process of fitting a mathematical function to a set of measured points by minimizing the sum of the squares of the distances from the points to the curve

• Data points: xi and yi
xi = concentration of standard for point i yi = observed response for concentration i• Linear Equation estimate of y:
y = mxi + b y residual = yi - (mxi + b), that is yi - y
Least Squares Statement: Q = ∑ [yi - (mxi + b)]2 - find the values of m and b that minimize Q- data that deviates significantly from the line has a large effect on
least squares fit

1. Manually on graph paper.2. Mathematically using the least squares method.• Is the calibration curve linear? - can I use y = mx + b ?• What is the best straight line? - what are m and b?• What are the errors in m and b? - what are sm and sb?• What is the error in a determined concentration? - what is sx?

xunk = (yunk - b)/m• Set up tables to calculate input values for the least-
squares equations.• Evaluate b and m.• Evaluate xunk from individual measurements (yi
unk) and calculate average.
• Evaluate uncertainty in the average value.• Evaluate uncertainty in reported value.

• The final answer for the unknown value to be reported most often involves further calculations. – Such calculations will normally require propagation of error
calculations to arrive at a final uncertainty.
• In particular, note the explicit examples presented in Appendix A of the Laboratory Manual.
• Note again the rules for Propagation of Uncertainty and Sig. Fig.Review Chapter 3 of Text!
