Challenging samples: 1. Metal complexes with low volatility are often difficult to analyze when performing atomic absorption measurements because the atomization efficiency is reduced to unacceptably low levels. Devise a strategy or strategies for eliminating the problem of a non-volatile metal complex? Explain how you would do that. 2. Devise a strategy to overcome unwanted ionization of the analyte? Explain what it would be. 3. Devise a general method that can be used to account for the presence of unknown matrix effects.

A calibration curve for the colormetric determination of phosphorusin urine is prepared by reacting standard solutions of phosphate withmolybdenum (IV) and reducing the phosphomolybdic acid complex toproduce the characteristic blue color. The measured absorbance A isplotted against the concentration of phosphorus. From the followingdata, determine the linear least-squares line and calculate thephosphorus concentration in the urine sample.a. Use the method of least squares to determine the equation of the line in the form of y=[m(±sm)]x +[b(±sb)]. Use Excel and do the calculations ‘by hand’. Check your answer using the linest function onExcel.b. Construct a graph showing the experimental data and the calculated straight line.c.

Scott test is one of the methods used for screening for Cocaine in Forensic Chemistry. The multi step method consists of a) reacting the sample drug with cobaltous thiocyanate b) dissolving of the formed precipitate by adding HCl and c) extraction of coordination compound with Chloroform d) measurement of absorbance of extracted coordination compound at 627 nm All the reactions in this multistep method are not fully understood. However, it was determined that there are 2 moles of cocaine in coordination compound measured in last step. If coordination compound is represented as “Scott” coordination compound, which of the following is correct “stoichiometric” factor to get mass of cocaine from mass of measured complex ? a.g (Scott coordination cpd) * MM (Scott coordination cpd) MM (cocaine) b.g (Scott coordination cpd) * 2 *MM (Scott coordination cpd) MM…

A student carries out the equilibrium constant experiment following a similar procedure used in the LearnSmart Lab simulator. In the first part of the experiment, there is a contaminant which causes absorbance values to read higher than they should for the thiocyanatoiron(III) complex. The resulting Beer's law plot has a slope that is larger than it would be if the contaminant was not present. This results in a Beer's Law plot with a slope that is larger than it would be if the contaminant were not present. If the same contaminant was not present when the student carries out the second part of the experiment, how will the student's results be affected? The molarities of thiocyanatoiron(III) ion would calculate higher and the calculated K. values would calculate higher. The molarities of thiocyanatoiron(III) ion would calculate lower and the calculated K. values would calculate lower.
