The amount of caffeine in an analgesic tablet was determined by HPLC using a normal calibration curve. Standard solutions of caffeine were prepared and analyzed using a 10-uL fixed-volume injection loop. Results for the standards are summarized in the following table. Concentration of Standards Signal (arbitrary units) (ppm) 50.0 8354 100.0 16925 150.0 25218 200.0 33584 250.0 42002 The sample was prepared by placing a single analgesic tablet in a small beaker and adding 10 mL of methanol. After allowing the sample to dissolve, the contents of the beaker, including the insoluble binder, were quantitatively transferred to a 25-mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume with methanol. The sample was then filtered, and a 1.00-mL aliquot was transferred to a 10-mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume with methanol. When analyzed by HPLC, the signal for the caffeine was found to be 21469. Report the number of milligrams of caffeine in the analgesic tablet.

Chloroform is an internal standard in the determination of the pesticide DDT in a polarographic analysis in which each compound is reduced at an electrode surface. A mixture containing 0.500 mM chloroform and 0.800 mM DDT gave signals of 15.3 µA for chloroform and 10.1 µA for DDT. An unknown solution (10.00 mL) containing DDT was placed in a 100-ml volumetric flask and 10.2 ul of chloroform (MW = 119.39, density = 1.484 g/mL) were added. After dilution to the mark with solvent, polarographic signals of 29.4 and 8.7 µA were observed for the chloroform and DDT, respectively. Find the concentration of DDT in the unknown.

You are developing a procedure for determining traces of copper in biological materials using a wet digestion followed by measurements by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. In order to test the validity of the method, you obtain a NIST orchard leaves standard reference material and analyze this material with your procedure five times and obtain a mean of 12.27 ppm with a standard deviation of 0.097 ppm. The NIST sample is listed as 11.7 ppm. Does your method give a statistically valid value at the 95% confidence level?
