The percentage of an additive in gasoline was measured six times with the following results: 0.13, 0.12, 0.16, 0.17, 0.20, and 0.11%. Find the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of additive.
A pheromone is a type of volatile compound produced by a variety of insect species for chemical communication. These molecules can be used to signal alarm, to attract a mate, or to indicate the presence of food. The presence of 1.00 x 10-8 g of a pheromone can be sensed by another insect within a radius of 0.500 miles. Calculate the density of this pheromone. (1609 m = 1 mile) %3D Calculate the density (g/L) of the pheromone in this cylindrical air space.
7) The homogeneity of the chloride level in a water sample from a lake was tested by an analyst. Below are the concentration in parts per million (ppm) of Cl: 27.32, 27.22, 27.21, 27.24, 27.20 i. Determine the mean and median. ii. Calculate the confidence limit at 90%. iii.

You work in a research organization that is looking for markers of various diseases that can be used as a diagnostic for the disease. It has been reported in the past that high levels of Cu are found in the sweat of people with cystic fibrosis. One of the research projects is focused on looking for high levels of Cu in samples that can be obtained non-invasively such as saliva, sweat, hair, nails, etc. The lab will analyze large samples for Cu. What instrument would you recommend purchasing to support this work, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer or an inductively coupled plasma atomic spectrophotometer? Explain the basis for your decision.

A titrimetric method for the determination of calcium in limestone was tested by analysis of an NIST limestone containing 30.15% CaO. The mean result of four analyses was 30.26% CaO, with a standard deviation of 0.085%. By pooling data from several analyses, it was established that s   = 0.094% CaO.a. Do the data indicate the presence of a systematic error at the 95% confidence level?b. Do the data indicate the presence of systematic error at the 95% confidence level if no pooled value for s was available?

You determine the acetic acid (HOAc) content of vinegar by titrating with a sodium hydroxide standard solution to a phenolphthalein (an indicator) end point. An approximately 5-mL sample of vinegar is weighed on an analytical balance in a weighing boat and this is found to be 5.0268 g. The standard deviation in making a single weighing is 0.2 mg. The sodium hydroxide must be accurately standardised (this means its concentration must be accurately determined) by titrating known mass of high-purity potassium hydrogen phthalate, and three such titrations give molar concentrations of 0.1167, 0.1163 and 0.1164 mol L-1. A volume of 36.78 mL of sodium hydroxide is used to titrate each sample. The standard deviation of the burette used is 0.02 mL. Calculate the percentage of acetic acid in the vinegar and its standard deviation.

1) Listen -5 The Ksp value for calcium sulfate [CaSO4] is 2.40 X 10 and a professor made 1825 mL of a CaSO4(ag) solution but then one of his graduate student accidentally poured in a 0.125 M solution of calcium phosphate [Cag(PO4)2] solution. You may ignore the additional volume coming from the Ca3(PO4)2 solution to make the calculation simpler.
