Atomic absorption spectroscopy was used to determine the amount of aluminum in a sample of sunscreen. A blank solution was measu

red seven times to determine the detection and quantitation limits of the spectrometer. The blank readings were: 0.0159 , 0.0081 , 0.0095 , 0.0109 , 0.0090 , 0.0114 , and 0.0090 AU. Determine the signal at the detection limit and the signal at the limit of quantitation for this method.

Answer:

LOD = 0,0177

LOQ = 0,0345

Explanation:

Detection limit (LOD) is defined as the lowest signal which, with a stated probability, can be distinguished from a suitable blank signal. In the same way, quantification limit (LOQ) is defined as the lowest analyte concentration that can be quantitatively detected with a stated accuracy and precision.

There are many formulas but the most used are:

LOD = X + 3σ

LOQ = X + 10σ

Where X is average and σ is standard desvation

For the blanks readings the average X is 0,0105 and σ is 0,0024

Thus:

<em>LOD = 0,0177</em>

<em>LOQ = 0,0345</em>

I hope it helps!

Polyatomic ions: CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-

Monatomic ions: Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

<h3>Monoatomic vs Polyatomic Ions</h3>

In chemistry, monoatomic ions are ions that consist of only a single type of atom. They are usually positive or negatively charged and are otherwise known as simple ions. Examples include  Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

Polyatomic ions, on the other hand, are ions that consist of more than one atom, unlike monoatomic ions. The two or more atoms are covalently bonded and the entire structure behaves like a single chemical entity in reactions. Polyatomic ions are otherwise known as molecular ions.

Examples of polyatomic ions are  CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-

Thus, from the diagram:

  • Polyatomic ions: CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-
  • Monatomic ions: Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

An ionic bond can be formed when one or more electrons are 1) equally shared by two atoms 2) unequally shared by two atoms 3) tr
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

4) transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another atom

Explanation:

Electrons are located outside of the nucleus which contains the protons and the neutrons.

For bonds to form, valence electrons located in the outermost shell electrons are involved. These are the valence electrons. These outer shell electrons can be shared or transferred between two combining atoms to form stable atoms.

In ionic bonds, the electrons are transferred from one specie to another. The atom that loses the electrons becomes positively charged and the receiving atom becomes negatively charged. This is the crux of ionic bonds.
