Question
Exactly 5.00-mL aliquots of a methanol solution containing an unknown amount of
methamphetamine were measured into 50.00-mL volumetric flasks. The following volumes of a
standard methanol solution of methamphetamine containing 2.000 ug/mL of methamphetamine
were then introduced into each flask and the mixture was diluted to volume with 0.000, 0.500, 1.00,
1.50 and 2.00 mL of methanol. 1 uL of these solutions was then injected into a gas chromatograph
and the following respective peak areas were measured: 326, 480, 641, 802, and 956 (all peak areas
were
ere x 10³).|
