Question

Which of the following is not an advantage of Laminar flow burner used in Flame photometry?

(a) Noiseless

(b) Stable flame for analysis

(c) Efficient atomization of sample

(d) Sample containing two or more solvents can be burned efficiently

I got this question in class test.

This question is from Flame Emission Photometers in chapter Colorimetry and Spectrometry of Analytical Instrumentation

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) Sample containing two or more solvents can be burned efficiently

Easiest explanation: Sample containing two or more solvents cannot be burned efficiently in Laminar flow burner. One more advantage of laminar flow burner is that it allows steady movement of gas flow.
