B. There was big news all over the internet that the Ponkan oranges that were imported from one of our neighboring counties are heavily contaminated with pesticides. Your lab was asked to analyze these samples using a gas chromatographic procedure. 8. The GC detector that was utilized in this analysis is the electron capture detector, ECD. Explain how this detector works and why was this utilized in the analysis.

A student weighed out 0.150 g of protein powder and dissolved it in 100 mL of water (Solution 1). The student then diluted this solution by transferring 1 mL into a 25 mL flask and diluting with water (Solution 2). Finally, 1 mL of that solution was transferred to a test tube and combined with 4 mL Bradford reagent. The absorbance of the solution in the test tube was 0.11. Assuming that the best fit linear line of the standard curve was y = 0.04144 x + 0.01521 (μ g mL), calculate the percent protein by mass in the original protein powder.

In the interference experiment preformed, sodium ascorbate powder was added to water to prepare the stock concentration of the interfering substance. On the package label, the manufacturer states that every 1 gram (1,000mg) of sodium ascorbate powder contains 120mg of sodium and 880mg of ascorbate (vitamin C). How much sodium ascorbate must be weighed out (in milligrams) and added to 100 mL of water in order to have a final stock concentration of pure ascorbate equal to 250 mg/dL?
4. In this experiment it takes about 10 microliters of solution to produce a spot 1 cm in diameter. If the Bi(NO3)3 solution contains about 21 Bi3+ per liter, how many micrograms of Bi ion are there in one spot?
6. Mass spectrometry and UV/Vis absorbance spectroscopy can both be used as detectors for liquid chromatography experiments. a. In simple systems, quantifying the concentration of an analyte is usually easier with UV/Vis than with MS. Explain why. b. Because MS is more sensitive and more selective, we often use it for quantitative analysis anyway. Explain how you would design a quantitative LC/MS experiment.
In Part 1 of the experiment, you will generate a calibration curve in order to determine el for this reaction. In order to ensure that the [Fe(SCN)2*] for these calibration solutions is accurately known, a large excess of SCN is used, so that the equilibrium for these solutions lies heavily to the products, and we can assume all of the Fe2* added becomes Fe(SCN)2*. In Part 2, you will observe solutions prepared with various initial reactant concentrations in order to determine Keg for the formation of iron(II) thiocyanate.
