A flame ionization detector a. uses electrons to create ions b. uses a flame to remove an electron from an analyte c. uses a flammable liquid and oxygen to produce a flame d. uses an electric filament to ionize molecules e. ionizes the analyte through use of an inert liquid

Respuesta :

The correct "option is (e)"

Explanation:

  • A flame ionization detector ionizes the analyte through the use of an inert liquid.
  • A Flame ionization detector (FID) has -

     1) Hydrogen (H2)/air flame used for the passing of the gas

     2) A collector plate used for the collection of ions

  • The effluent released from the Gas Chromatography column passes through the hydrogen flame.
  • The effluent released after entering the column of flame break down the organic molecules and forming the ions.
  • The ions are detected by using a metal collector and are collected on a biased electrode giving an electric signal.
