You are provided with a stock standard with a concentration of 100 mg/L, and a solution of unknown concentration. Prepare calibration standards using a 10 mL volumetric flask and a 1 mL piston pipette, and measure on the UV/Vis spectrophotometer (400 nm). Determine the concentration of the unknown after a 1:40 dilution, and provide the concentration of the initial solution. i need to learn how to do the calculations and draw a calibration curve to find concentration of unknown sample after i find the absorbances.

QUESTION 5 In a chromatographic separation using a polar stationary phase and a mobile phase composed of 60% hexane and 40% ethyl acetate, two compounds, benzene (peak A) and toluene (peak B), are eluted. The width of peak A at its base is 1.2 min, the width of peak B at its base is 1.3 min, and the retention time of peak A is 5.2 min and peak B is 3.5 min. What is the resolution (Rs) between these two peaks and is it acceptable? R = 1.36. It is not an acceptable resolution. R = 0.74. It is an acceptable resolution. R = 1.36. It is an acceptable resolution. R = 0.74. It is not an acceptable resolution.
Which is correct? Random errors affect accuracy and systematic errors affect precision. An accurate result shows agreement with the true or accepted value. Precise results can contain significant random error, but little systematic error. The standard deviation is a good measure of accuracy. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stationary phases have low polarities. Which of the following statements is TRUE about gas chromatography using PDMS stationary phases? The gas chromatography column is typically packed with silica microparticles. An oven is used to control the column temperature because a constant temperature is always needed in gas chromatography Octane (C8H18, boiling point: 126 ºC) is eluted later than dodecane (C12H26, boiling point: 216 ºC) 3-Pentanone ((C2H5)2CO, boiling point: 102 ºC) is eluted later than propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH, boiling point: 97 ºC)

A young researcher set out to develop a method for quantifying the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content in a contaminated soil sample using open tubular gas chromatography. During the initial stages of method development, the researcher was unable to separate the early eluting compounds, anthracene and naphthalene, with baseline resolution. Select the possible modifications the researcher could make to improve the resolution. use a column with a smaller inner diameter decrease the column length increase the stationary phase thickness increase the temperature choose a different stationary phase
The concentration of acetylsalicylic acid in an antipyretic tablet was determined by HPLC using a normal calibration curve. Standard solutions of acetylsalicylic acid were prepared and analysed using a 10µL loop. The results obtained for the standards are tabulated below: Conc. of Acetylsalicylic Acid (ppm); Signal (arbitrary units) 50; 6352 100; 12869 150; 19175 200; 25536 250; 31936 To determine the concentration of acetylsalicylic acid in an antipyretic tablet, 10 tablets were weighed (6.500 g total) and crushed to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle. A quantity of powder equal the mass of one tablet was added to a 100 mL volumetric flask. The tablet powder was dissolved with 20 mL of methanol and the flask was made to volume using water. The solution was filtered. A 1.000 ml aliquot was transferred to a 10 ml volumetric flask, which was then made to volume with water. Analysis was conducted using a Bio Sil HL C18, 250mm x 4.6mm column; 5um, with a mobile phase of acetonitrile:…
