Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are using AAS to determine lead concentration in a water sample. If the absorbance measured is 0.400 and the calibration curve provided a slope of 0.120 (Absorbance per ppm), calculate the concentration of lead in the sample.
💡 Hint: Revisit the relationship defined by Beer’s Law.
Analyze a situation where spectral interference occurs in your AAS results. Describe how you would identify and correct this issue.
💡 Hint: Reflect on previous discussions regarding interferences.
