Consider the following statements about sample handling.

1. Infrared cells are made from salts rather than glass

2. A potassium bromide pellet can show a spurious water band

3. Attenuated total reflectance requires the sample to be dissolved

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 2 only
  • B.1 and 3 only
  • C.2 and 3 only
  • D.1, 2 and 3

Answer: A

The first two are correct and the third is the reverse of the technique's chief advantage: a solid or liquid is simply pressed against the crystal with no preparation at all. That is precisely why it displaced mulls and pellets in routine work. A statement that inverts a technique's main selling point is worth doubting on that ground before any detail is checked.
