  2. Detection limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detection_limit

    Most analytical instruments produce a signal even when a blank (matrix without analyte) is analyzed.This signal is referred to as the noise level. The instrument detection limit (IDL) is the analyte concentration that is required to produce a signal greater than three times the standard deviation of the noise level.

  3. Correction fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correction_fluid

    Correction pen. A correction fluid is an opaque, usually white fluid applied to paper to mask errors in text. Once dried, it can be handwritten or handdrawn upon. It is typically packaged in small bottles, with lids attached to brushes (or triangular pieces of foam) that dip into the fluid.

  4. Chemical potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_potential

    In thermodynamics, the chemical potential of a species is the energy that can be absorbed or released due to a change of the particle number of the given species, e.g. in a chemical reaction or phase transition.

  5. Electron energy loss spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_energy_loss...

    Experimental electron energy loss spectrum, showing the major features: zero-loss peak, plasmon peaks and core loss edge. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is a form of electron microscopy in which a material is exposed to a beam of electrons with a known, narrow range of kinetic energies.

  6. Eötvös effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eötvös_effect

    The mathematical derivation for the Eötvös effect for motion along the Equator explains the factor 2 in the first term of the Eötvös correction formula. What remains to be explained is the cosine factor. Because of its rotation, the Earth is not spherical in shape, there is an Equatorial bulge. The force of gravity is directed towards the ...

  7. Polarimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimeter

    Just after the convex lens there is a Nicol Prism P which acts as a polariser. H is a half shade device which divides the field of polarized light emerging out of the Nicol P into two halves, generally of unequal brightness. T is a glass tube in which an optically active solution is filled.

  8. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    The word's meaning became restricted to "spirit of wine" (the chemical known today as ethanol) in the 18th century and was extended to the class of substances so-called as "alcohols" in modern chemistry after 1850. [15] The term ethanol was invented in 1892, blending "ethane" with the "-ol" ending of "alcohol", which was generalized as a libfix ...

  9. Atomic absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_absorption_spectroscopy

    The technique makes use of the atomic absorption spectrum of a sample in order to assess the concentration of specific analytes within it. It requires standards with known analyte content to establish the relation between the measured absorbance and the analyte concentration and relies therefore on the Beer–Lambert law.
