A sample of pure water was spiked with 0.520 ng/mL silver ion. Ten replicate determinations of the spiked water sample gave 0.530, 0.510, 0.487, 0.473, 0.514, 0.494, 0.498, 0.502, 0.480, and 0.465 ng/mL silver ion. Determine the mean percent recovery of the spike and the detection limit of the analytical method used for the silver ion determination. mean percent recovery: % detection limit: ng/mL

2) You are tasked with determining the barium content of a sample containing barium nitrate mixed with rubidium nitrate. The sample is weighed, dissolved into 50.0mg water, and treated with xs 0.500M sodium sulfate. The acid fully ionizes in this experiment. A white precipitate forms which is washed, filtered, and weighed multiple times, according to the data given below: Mass of sample 0.425g Mass of thoroughly dried filter paper 1.462g Mass of precipitate+filter after 1st drying 1.755g Mass of precipitate+filter after 2nd drying 1.699g Mass of precipitate+filter after 3rd drying 1.698g
Spike recovery and detection limit. Species of arsenic found in drinking water include AsO32 3 (arsenite), AsO32 4 (arsenate), (CH3)2AsO2 2 (dimethylarsinate), and (CH3)AsO22 3 (methylarsonate). Pure water containing no arsenic was spiked with 0.40 mg arsenate/L. Seven replicate determinations gave 0.39, 0.40, 0.38, 0.41, 0.36, 0.35, and 0.39 mg/L.15 Find the mean percent recovery of the spike and the concentration detection limit (mg/L).

Polyacrylamide gels (PAGS) are made by mixing acrylamide with bisacrylamide as a crosslinker. The amount of acrylamide and bisacrylamide in a gel is expressed as a percentage in 100 mL of buffer. PAGS can have a uniform, single, and continuous percentage throughout the gel (single-percentage gels), or they can be cast with an increasing gradient of acrylamide and bisacrylamide across the gel (gradient gels). Typical gel compositions are between 7.5 and 20% for single-percentage gels, and typical gradients are 4-15% and 10-20%. Observe the results below and compare them within each class of gels across different percentages, and between the two different classes. Provide your comments on which one is your favorite and why? Please be concise and brief.

You are developing a procedure for determining traces of copper in biological materials using a wet digestion followed by measurements by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. In order to test the validity of the method, you obtain a NIST orchard leaves standard reference material and analyze this material with your procedure five times and obtain a mean of 12.27 ppm with a standard deviation of 0.097 ppm. The NIST sample is listed as 11.7 ppm. Does your method give a statistically valid value at the 95% confidence level?
