Question
Samples are nebulized, undergo this process, and are then filtered through a skimmer cone in a technique that can detect metals at part-per-trillion concentrations. This process is performed on samples in atomic emission spectroscopy using an ICP. In a common setup for gas chromatography, eluted analytes undergo this process before being detected by an ionization detector. The D lines of (*) sodium are filtered out using cobalt blue glass in a technique that relies on this process, which first dips the sample in nichrome wire and produces a red color when performed on lithium. For 10 points, samples can be identified by performing what process in a device named for Robert Bunsen? ■END■
ANSWER: combustion [or burning or becoming a fire or becoming a plasma or becoming a flame; accept flame ionization detector or flame test; accept ionization until read; prompt on oxidation] (The first line refers to ICP-MS.)
