Where does atomic absorption still hold an advantage?

  • A.Determination of non-metals such as chlorine and sulphur
  • B.Direct analysis of solid samples without dissolution
  • C.Cost and simplicity for a few elements
  • D.Simultaneous determination of twenty or more elements

Answer: C

For a laboratory determining two or three metals routinely, an absorption instrument is a fraction of the cost and far simpler to run. Simultaneous multi-element work belongs to the plasma, non-metals are outside both techniques' usual reach, and solids need dissolution for either. A technique displaced from the general case can remain the right answer in the specific one, and cost is usually why. Checking the units of each quantity catches a wrong formula before the arithmetic begins.
