What are examples of atomic absorption spectroscopy?
When white light from mercury vapour lamp is passed through sodium vapour then we have as outcome a continuous spectrum of colours with two black lines in the yellow-orange region. These two lines stand for the absorption of 5890 A and 5896 A lines of sodium atom Another example is Fraunhofer lines seen in the continuous spectrum got from sun. These lines are due to absorption of characteristic frequencies of metals present in the chromosphere of the sun
Is mercury found in nature?
In a liquid elemental state or as an element contained in certain minerals.
How much mercury is lethal?
Elemental mercury isn't an acute toxin, so the question is essentially meaningless.
What causes mercury in a thermometer to separate?
The cause is an udesired absorption of air.
Applications of atomic absorption spectroscopy?
Determination of even small amounts of metals (lead, mercury, calcium, magnesium, etc) as follows: Environmental studies: drinking water, ocean water, soil; Food industry; Pharmaceutical industry; Biomaterials: blood, saliva, tissue; Forensics: gunpowder residue, hit and run accidents; Geology: rocks, fossils
What has the author D C Girvin written?
D. C Girvin has written: 'On-line Zeeman atomic absorption spectroscopy for mecury analysis in oil shale gases' -- subject(s): Mercury, Atomic absorption spectroscopy, Air, Analysis, Pollution
Ask How much does a pound of elemental mercury weigh?
A pound of elemental mercury, or anything else, weighs a pound.
What will happen if mercury lamp is used instead of sodium lamp in plane diffraction grating exp?
for diffraction grating mercury lamp is used not sodium lamp.
What is Meroury made out of?
It is elemental. Mercury is made of mercury. Atoms of mercury are made of mercury atoms.
What is unit weight of elemental mercury?
200.59
What is the oxidation state of elemental mercury Hg?
Oxidation state of any element in its elemental state is 0

What does Mercury poisoning do?
poisoning from elemental mercury is most likely due to inhalation of mercury vapors. The danger lies in the fact that after it is inhaled into the lungs in vapor form, mercury passes into the blood stream.
What kind of laser is used in diffraction grating experiment?
laser is not used in that experiment. that was mercury lamp which is used for that exp.
How much mercury is lethal?
Elemental mercury isn't an acute toxin, so the question is essentially meaningless.
How many elements are found in nature as a liquid?
Bromine and Mercury. However, they are not found in the elemental state but in compounds. In addition Gallium, Francium and Cesium are extremely cose to being liquid in their elemental form at normal temperatures and pressures.
