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 x 103).   Plot the data Using the plot from (a), calculate the concentration of methamphetamine in the unknown.

Question
  1. 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 x 103).

 

  1. Plot the data
  2. Using the plot from (a), calculate the concentration of methamphetamine in the unknown.
  3. Derive a least squares equation from the data.
  4. Calculate the concentration of methamphetamine from the equation in (c).
