Reason For Learning
At the end of this learning bite you will be aware of the principals and applications of spectroscopic techniques and interpretations of Qualitative and Quantitative data from Atomic Absorption spectroscopy (AAS),Infrared (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Visible and Ultraviolet spectroscopy.
Learning Intention
After completing this section you should be able to: Identify the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum associated with the following techniques, flame tests, visible-ultraviolet spectroscopy, atomic emission, atomic absorption, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. You will also be able to suggest appropriate techniques for analysis of elements (atoms) and molecular compounds. Describe the equipment and procedures necessary for the above techniques. You will also be able to make qualitative and quantitative interpretations of the data obtained from these instruments. This will ultimately lead you to calculate the concentrations of samples from data obtained by instrumental analyses.
