- 1. On a typical Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, what are the detection limits for iron? (i.e. What are the maximum and minimum concentrations that can be measured?) 2. What happens when the existing concentration of ions, substituted into a Ksp expression, exceeds the numerical value of Ksp?arrow_forwardConcentrate on lead element. All isotopes are listed in the table. Isotope masses are listed in AMU (atomic mass unit) and value of AMU is given in Physical Constants section below this document together with other physical constants. An ionizing laser is directed onto the lead block under test such that the ionized atoms (or isotopes) leaves the lead block with an initial kinetic energy of 1 eV. The direction is conically upward but sure that the cone is larger than the entrance hole to the accelerator section. The ionized isotopes are in form. That is only a single electron is missing in lead ions. The number of ionized isotopes entering into the accelerator region corresponds to a ion current. These ions are accelerated with a constant DC voltage in the acceleration chamber which is in the form of two parallel metal plates that have a hole in both bottom and top. Then the ions enter to velocity selector region. In this region both electric and magnetic fields are applied.

While this technique is still not fully mature, such 3D integration is likely to happen in the next five years in full force. Which of the choices below is accurate about 3D integration of ICs: O a. Increases the size of printed circuits boards. O b. Likely to extend Moore's Law. O c. Reduces the number of I/O pins on ICs. O d. Simplifies the fabrication and scaling. O e.
