ICP in the Physical Chemistry Laboratory: Determination of Plasma Temperature
Melissa A. Page, Benjamin W. Smith, and Kathryn R. Williams
Department of Chemistry, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-7200
Cover
March 2002
Vol. 79 No. 3
p. 364
Abstract
Physical chemistry laboratory students measure the temperature of an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) by the Boltzmann and Saha methods. The experiment teaches students some of the fundamental processes of ICP emission spectroscopy, reinforces concepts of statistical mechanics, and introduces software for mathematical applications.
Supplement
Background information, detailed instructions for students, an instructor's guide, a spectroscopic data table for iron, and a Mathcad tutorial are available.
