Question 17
F

A water company tests thousands of water samples each day for sodium ions.

It uses flame emission spectroscopy, where an instrument measures the light given out by a sample in a flame, instead of doing flame tests by eye.

What is the best reason for this?

[1]
A

Flame emission spectroscopy uses cheaper equipment than flame tests.

B

Flame emission spectroscopy does not need the sample to go in a flame.

C

Flame emission spectroscopy is rapid and can detect low concentrations.

D

Flame emission spectroscopy turns the ions into a coloured precipitate.
