Gases generated in the furnace during atomization may have molecular absorptionbands encompassing the analytical wavelength. When this occurs, use either backgroundcorrection or choose an alternate wavelength. Background correction may also compensate fornonspecifSilver -- Silver chloride is insoluble, therefore HCl should be avoidedunless the silver is already in solution as a chloride complex. In addition, it isrecommended that the stock standard concentrations be kept below 2 ppm and thechloride content increased to prevent precipitation. If precipitation is occurring, a 5%:2%HCl:HNO 3 stock solution may prevent precipitation. Daily standard preparation may alsobe needed to prevent precipitation of silver. Analysts should be aware that this techniquemay not be the best choice for this analyte and that alternative techniques should beconsidered.ic broad-band absorption interference and light scattering.
