Which of the following is the definition of spectral interference in plasma and flame atomic emission spectrometry?

		Spectral interference can alter the aspiration, nebulization, desolvation, or volatilization processes.
		Spectral interference occurs due to the oscillation frequency of fluorescent lights used to illuminate the laboratory workspace.
		Spectralinterference can occur when easily ionized substances alter the ionization of the analyte.
		A spectral interference in atomic spectroscopy occurs when a spectral line of an element in the sample matrix overlaps that of the analyte. It is an example of an additive interference.

Expert Solution

Answer: A spectral interference in atomic spectroscopy occurs when a spectral line of an element in the sample matrix overlaps that of the analyte. It is an example of an additive interference.

Does the emission spectrum produced by burning metal salts in a flame arise from the chloride...

Does the emission spectrum produced by burning metal salts in a flame arise from the chloride anion or the metal cation? Design a simple test that would confirm this. I believe it does and to test it I would burn each component of the compound seperately and compare it to the compound itself ie. for NaCl, I would burn Na, Cl and NaCl separately then compare. However, could someone find me a credible source and whether my assumption is correct...
