Practice question
An ionization potential (IP) value is relevant when using a PID because:
- A compound is detectable only if its ionization potential is below the energy of the PID lamp
- It tells the boiling point
- It measures the pH of the gas
- It indicates the radioactivity
Answer: A — A compound is detectable only if its ionization potential is below the energy of the PID lamp
